Believe it or not, 21% of American adults think that winning the lottery is the best strategy for their retirement.
Statistics show us that Americans, as a whole, are financially illiterate and generally horrendous at saving. "What All Kids . . ." aims to correct that by teaching basic saving and investing concepts to middle grades/young adults in a fun and interesting way.
Described as "POTENTIALLY GENUINELY LIFE CHANGING" and "AMAZINGLY WRITTEN," this book covers saving, budgeting and investing, and is a MUST-READ for all young adults, teens and everyone older than that without basic financial literacy skills. The goal is to instill the idea of long term investing – not get rich quick - that everyone should know, irrespective of their age.
