Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Personal Finance for Teens and Young Adults
Georgia I Lainiotis · 2023
74/100
👍 Worth It
Georgia Lainiotis brings two decades of real financial-services chops to this one, and she doesn't stop at budgeting basics — she gets into investing, insurance, credit scores, even the mindset side of money. It's ambitious in scope, which is a strength, though that breadth means no single topic gets deep treatment.
