Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
First Job Smarts
Daniel E. Harmon · 2009
55/100
👎 Skip It
This is a slim, teen-friendly primer on first-job money basics, and Penny thinks it does exactly what a 64-page library book is supposed to do. It's just too short and too dated on specifics to be anyone's main resource.
