In Money Matters for Teens, young writers discuss their financial
fears and the strategies they've learned to help them spend their
money wisely, save for the future, and pay for college. 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. Political changes could help close the gap, but in
the meantime, teens can help prepare themselves for financial
independence. In this book, teens write about learning to handle
money wisely, to manage their own income, to pay for college, and
how our larger economic system determines their financial standing.

Countdown to Independence and more! Through these essays, teen
readers--as well as their parents, teachers, and caregivers--will
pick up new tricks to managing their money but will also be
provided a much-needed glimpse into how the world looks to our
younger generations.
