Cash is Queen"Study after study shows that women are far happier discussing virtually anything else but bank balances, and this lack of confidence in openly discussing money matters is crippling the female population financially. Women negotiate less in salary discussions, are excessively cautious and risk averse when it comes to investing and lack the general awareness around how to optimise retirement savings to guarantee a comfortable retirement. With clear explanations and empowering text by experienced financial expert Davinia Tomlinson, you'll learn that establishing a positive relationship with money as an adult must be cultivated in childhood." --Publisher.

Money Matters for Teens by Youth Communication (Editor); Virginia Vitzthum (Editor)"The gap between the richest and the poorest Americans has been growing for decades, and experts predict it will continue to widen. Young people bear the brunt of this inequality because it makes it harder to get a job and to pay for the college education you need to move up the ladder.
