Book Reviews of On My Own Two Feet: A Modern Girl's Guide to Personal Finance
Book Review: The absolute best book to teach ANYONE how to manage their finances--and an easy, interesting read, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVED this book. I saw this book in my community library a few months ago, and liked the cover, so I decided to check it out. Little did I know it would change my life! It changed the way I looked at budgeting, and taught me many different things--HOW to save your money, WHERE to save your money, and WHEN to save your money, among other things...and made it all easy to understand. I am 16 years old, and am going to college next year, so this book will be a great help to me, especially in the budgeting area. This book will be a lifetime finance companion for me! =)
