But does your teenager understand the power of their wallet and how to make it work for them?Here to help is Time Worth Spending: the Top 10 Talks to Have with Your Teenager About Money.

Broken into ten easy-to-understand chapters, Time Worth Spending helps your teen master the basics of money management and shows them how to evaluate financial choices, from the simple (eat out or cook in) to the more complex (how to afford college). The book is filled with short stories and hands-on activities specifically geared to help teens move toward personal and financial independence.For the past fifteen years authors Garfield and Edge have been helping young adults and their parents learn about the best ways to handle money.

We all need it each and every day. It’s time to recognize that learning how to manage money is crucial for young people. The earlier they adopt sound financial practices, the better prepared they’ll be to handle life’s inevitable ups and downs. Time Worth Spending helps teenagers get a head start on one of the most important jobs they’ll have – managing their own money now and throughout adulthood.
