Part of Saddleback’s Lifeskills Handbooks series, the work is a worthy addition to any teen, library, or classroom bookshelf. It offers a clear, concise, and easily understandable overview of how to manage money – a topic that still mystifies many adults due to its convoluted nature: the book covers basics like budgeting, bank accounts (savings and checking), credit cards, loans, and controlling one’s spending. Concepts and vocabulary (even words not necessarily financial in nature, like “scam” or “impulse”) are explained throughout (there is even some background knowledge thrown in – such as an explanation of how the concept of FDIC insurance arose in the aftermath of the Great Depression). Sample scenarios offer real-life examples of behaviors to emulate and habits to avoid. The text is broken up with bullet points, useful asides, and perky stock photos, all of which help keep it from getting overwhelming. It is of paramount importance for young adults to receive instruction in practical life skills, and Managing Money does an admirable job beginning a teaching process that could be extended in school learning, as it is comprehensive, comprehensible, and – perhaps most importantly – compelling.
