At 18, Samantha Koch was tired of being broke. Her dad was full of advice: after all, he is David Koch, the well-known financial expert who earns his living by telling adults how to manage their money. But Sam wanted the facts about the things people her age like to know. So she wrote her own guide to financial survival to help her and her friends learn how to get more money and how make it go further. Whether you've got $10 pocket money a week or $5000 in the bank, The Teenager's Guide to Money is full of tips and ideas to help you make the most of it. There's no dry 'finance speak'--it's for teenagers, written by a teenager...with a little bit of help from her old man. Find out how to: * work out the best way to save up for those 'must have' items * get the best deals when you're shopping * understand credit cards and loans, and control your debts * choose the right bank account * get a job-or even start up your own business-so you can get more cash.
