Dollars & Sense: a Guide to Financial Security William Austin

A comprehensive financial literacy education resource for young adults ranging in age from 17 to 25 was almost non-existent -- until now. In fun, interesting, and relevant workbook format, each chapter of Dollars & Sense contains to-the-point instructional text and practical worksheets and examples. This hands-on application allows the student to become better acclimated to the realities of managing his or her own personal finances as well as serve as a resource for obtaining information and assistance. Additionally, the book can become a permanent fixture of a student's library, as a means of reference long after it is first read and the worksheets completed. Dollars & Sense fills an obvious curriculum gap in schools, colleges, and universities throughout the nation. It serves as a teaching and discussion resource for parents and educators, many of whom may still be perplexed by financial literacy themselves.
