This resource was written by a fully qualified financial adviser keen to engender in young people a mature, informed view on both money-matters and adult life itself. Humorously illustrated and, above all, concise, this 100 page interpretation of banking and financial services terminology will ensure that level-headed students leave school with a rare understanding of financial and personal responsibility.

Part 2, Advanced Financial Advice for the Upper School, explains in the clearest possible terms everything else needed to understand the basics of money-management and money generation. For sure, all teachers will be comfortable and confident in using this resource. The Times Educational Supplement described these volumes as "Sound advice, well explained in a chatty and humorous style".
