I feel like students and adults are always saying they wish they had learned real life skills in school, like how to balance checkbooks and deal with money. Well this book is an answer to that need. Jackson presents financial literacy in a fun and humorous way but it's chock full of good ideas, definitions, and lessons. I learned a lot any any student who is willing to pick up this nonfiction book will too. My favorite line was about assessing needs and wants and how we are all in control of our money: "I never accidentally bought anything." By learning about money we all can be more in control of our finances.

This is a great book to get kids interested in money, starting their own business; it gets great habits started young! I wish I could have had this book growing up. My one complaint is that I wish it would have addressed wealth inequality. What to do when you see that kids are richer than you, get money just because their families have it, and you don’t have much.

I just reviewed Make Your Own Money by Ty Allan Jackson. #MakeYourOwnMoney #NetGalley
This book focuses on how young children thru high school can make money. By investing, opening a small online business, and making smarter choices the youth of today can learn to be more financially responsible. The strategies listed in the book could be useful to anyone of any age. This is a book I wish I had access to as a teen. Learning money saving/ making techniques at a young age will better prepared children for the harsh road ahead. I will be purchasing this book for our juvenile section of the library, possibly showcasing it during a virtual program.

Teaching children about money can be difficult, but the graphics and jokes and ideas in this book will hold at least some of their attention. Start them young!
