Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Personal Finance for Teens
Carol H. Cox · 2023
72/100
👍 Worth It
Penny loves that this one was built by a mom teaching her own three daughters before it ever became a book — that kind of real-world testing shows in how plainly it explains banking, credit, and even Roth IRAs. It's a solid, no-fuss handbook for a teen heading off to college, though I'd love to see more independent voices weigh in on it.
