Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Personal Finance For Teens
J. R. Orr · 2023
73/100
👍 Worth It
J.R. Orr built this as a genuinely hands-on workbook — activities and online games rather than a wall of text — which is exactly what keeps teen readers actually engaged with budgeting and saving. It's a smart, accessible entry point for a true beginner, even if the exercise-heavy format trades off a little depth.
