About the Book

Destined as a landmark in financial and life fitness for American youth, Common Cents Without Dollar Pain is a comprehensive first practical guide for teenagers and young people on how to deal with the economic system that is their life environment. Undoubtedly, current and future generations will rely on this timely reference far beyond their teenage years. Grandparents & parents, aunts & uncles will all want to give this book. The perfect birthday, graduation or incentive gift, it is also bound to be a core resource book for new, cutting edge high school financial fitness courses. It should be in every campus store. The military training establishment, family services, and every base and unit library should have it. It is an ideal sales offering for the military post exchange system and in "big box" stores. Seeing the serious lack of individual financial literacy exposed in the financial crisis of 2008, long concerned for the lack of youth financial instruction, and hearing demand for this book from all sides, the authors bring a lifetime of global experience in many fields to their mission: guiding young Americans how to earn, save, and not make mistakes. The book is a strong advocate for youth - whether their background has support and advantages, or they've never had a parent, teacher or mentor in their corner. Relevant and timely, the book brings economic tools and understanding so readers can realize the fruits of their labor and participate in the American Dream. Nobody ever gave you a boost? Brodie and Wright will. You never got this course in high school? Here it is. The constant theme is to promote financial skills as a critical avenue to self reliance and personal freedom. Long overdue and uniquely and thoughtfully composed in breadth and depth, the book addresses how to select an education, manage your first credit card, buy and maintain a car correctly, travel internationally without getting into trouble - and dozens and dozens of other building blocks
