How to Money will teach you the basics of: -creating a budget (and sticking to it) -scoring that first job (and what that paystub means) -navigating student loans (and avoiding student debt) -getting that first credit card (and what "credit" is) -investing like a pro (and why it's important!) All so you can earn more, save smart, invest wisely, borrow only when you have to, and enjoy everything you've got!"
