Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Money Rules 101
Patti J. Handy · 2017
62/100
👎 Skip It
Patti Handy's banking credentials are real and the coverage is admirably broad for a teen finance book, touching mindset, credit, entrepreneurship, and even giving back. The breadth is also its weakness — no single topic gets the depth a teen actually needs to act on it, and the self-published format means it hasn't been stress-tested by independent reviewers.
