True wealth is much more than an accumulation of dollars and cents. As the saying goes, ‘Money cannot buy happiness’ and it’s true. To be truly wealthy you must respect the things you have: good health, happiness, great relationships and worthy goals. You must respect yourself as an individual and acknowledge your flaws, respect your unique accomplishments and respect your dreams.

Find out why managing money is one of the most important life skills we can learn.

Find out why feeling comfortable about talking about money and money decisions is fun.

Whether you have one dollar as a child, 50 dollars as a teen or a couple of thousand dollars as an adult, you have to learn to manage it. Our expenses have a bad habit of growing as our income grows. Think back: How much did you earn and what were your expenses? As your income or your allowance increased, didn’t your expenses increase too? So many ‘wants’ suddenly became ‘needs’ you had to acquire with your newfound disposable income!

This book isn’t telling you to be cheap, stingy or miserly. The idea is to know where you are spending before you spend. Don’t spend wildly. Track your wealth.

You can have fun and be practical too. In other words, create balance in your spending habits.

Our Purpose
The purpose of this book is to inspire you to handle your money with maturity and integrity and to feel proud of your accomplishments. If you’re like many other teens, you’ll be fighting the pressures that your friends place on you to follow the latest trends. You’ll be tempted to join them – and lots of times you should! The goal here is not to isolate you from your friends. What Carly and I want to do is help you learn to make choices on your terms.

Carly and I work as a team to build for her future and because we’ve found the formula to be such a success, we have designed this book to provide guidance and support for other great teams, like you and your parent or mentor! You’ll find lots of opportunities to give each other insights and advice, which is exactly what a great team is meant to do!

Money plays such a complicated role in our lives. There are so many reasons people spend money – not just to pay the rent and put food on the table. For some people, spending makes them feel good about themselves. These people get so carried away, they let spending rule their lives, putting them in debt and making everyone around them unhappy.

This book helps you learn the real meaning of wealth – it helps you understand the notion of being rich – as opposed to merely having and spending money. We give you exercises and examples that help you understand the difference and take control of the ways you reward and respect yourself; taking control, ultimately, of your future.
