Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Money Boot Camp
Chella Diaz · 2013
68/100
👎 Skip It
Chella Diaz brings 20 years of real banking experience to this teen money primer, and readers say it's clear and useful. It's a solid basics-to-investing walkthrough, just a bit dated now and short on the kind of independent scrutiny that would let me push it higher.
