TeenVestor

The book "TeenVestor" is a very good book for teenagers that are ready to find out what opportunities they have in order to make money or a living. The book is not only for teens it is also for adults. The book gives instructions from how to get money to how to invest that money. The book takes the reader step by step through the process and gives tips how to improve the investments. It warns what might happen if someone does certain things that are illegal or just not allowed. It gives examples from actual events that happened in the past. The consequences that somebody would face, if does not obey the law. It has all the important answers to the questions that people ask all the time. For example: "Where to invest the money?". "When to invest?", and the most important one "How much to invest?". Readers can find the answers to these questions in this book. The answers are correct and accurate because the writers Emmanuel Modu and Andrea Walker did the research for a long time before they wrote the book. They know how the system works because one of them is a vice President at Citibank and other one is an attorney in New Jersey. That means that this book is reliable resource to find out the answers and get some tips in how to become successful. The book is also teaching a life lesson by giving a lot of tips to the reader and by warning the reader in some cases.

Pass the Money Please!

This book was extremely helpful to me considering I had never been taught how to make a budget for myself. Plus I also learned a lot about what types of stocks I should invest in and when I should do it. I would recommend this to anyone who is up to learn a little more about investing.
