Money For Teens

Generation Y has grown up in an age of the brand, bombarded by name products. In Branded, Alissa Quart illuminates the unsettling new reality of marketing to teenagers, as well as the quieter but no less worrisome forms of teen branding: the teen consultants who work for corporations in exchange for product; the girls obsessed with cosmetic surgery who will do anything to look like women on TV; and those teens simply obsessed with admission into a name-brand college.

If you are a teenager in today’s world of finance, you have an advantage over every generation prior to yours. The resources you have access to, your incredible talents with technology, and your drive to create wealth in new ways is unparalleled. I am excited to get you started with the basics of personal finance to help launch you into a life of financial security. I will teach you about basic concepts of saving, budgeting, income, and everything else you will need to get started building your personal wealth today.

Warren Buffet started investing at the age of 11. Most people know who Warren Buffet is, whether they invest themselves or not. The third richest man in the world, Buffet's name has become synonymous with investing. But here's the thing. If Warren Buffet started investing at the age of 30 and retired by the age of 60, you would have never heard of him. The reason he is so successful is that Buffet started investing at the age of 11 and he never stopped investing. Buffet earned 99 percent of his wealth after his 50th birthday (he's now 89 years old).
