The Tools of Money
Life Leadership · 2019
55/100
👎 Skip It
A functional starter guide to budgeting, saving, and investing that covers familiar ground without a distinctive edge. The MLM affiliation of Life Leadership is a real credibility drag — not a content problem, but enough to make you wonder whose interests the framing serves. Plenty of stronger, more independent teen-finance options exist.
