So that ‘money’ does not become an obstacle for children with dreams,
A 'money management' class that will become a lifelong asset for teenagers!

Highly recommended by Ok Hyo-jin, teacher of "Children Who Pay Taxes," and Kwon Oh-sang, CEO of "Economics School for Twelve-Year-Olds"!

Warren Buffett, a world-renowned rich man, began studying money and investing at the age of 11.
Because I learned the truth at a young age that money grows over time.
In a world dominated by capital, the reality is that without money, even dreams cannot come true.
The sooner you become familiar with money, the better, if only to achieve your dreams.
If you later regret, “If only I had studied money sooner…” it will already be too late.
That's why "Money Lessons for Teens" was published to help teens learn about money right now.

The author of this book is a successful businessman and writer.
But when I was a teenager, no one taught me about money, so in my twenties, instead of achieving my dreams, I was buried in debt and had to endure painful days.
The author wrote this book with the earnest hope that young people will not repeat the same mistakes he made.

"Money Lessons for Teens" is not an economics textbook you have to learn for school.
This is a realistic and practical guidebook that teaches you the economic concepts essential to living your life and can be applied immediately in real life.
From basic concepts about money flow to allowances, income and expenses, asset management, savings and deposits, and stock investment, it is written in an easy-to-understand and user-friendly way, with abundant diagrams, graphs, illustrations, and specific examples.
If you follow the lessons step by step, you will soon acquire the ability to manage money, which will become an asset for life.
The day will soon come when I will enjoy the 'economic freedom' to achieve my dreams.

This book is about 'freedom'.
yes that's right.
Of course I know I said it was a book about money.
Actually, what I really want to talk to you about is how to live the life you actually want, not the life the world forces on you.

The more you understand the money ecosystem, the more you can use it as a beneficial tool in your life.
If you don't master and control your money, any money that comes into your life will just disappear.
It means that you have to spend a lot of time every day thinking about how you can earn even just a penny more.
Interestingly enough, the best way to avoid being obsessed with money is to understand it very well.
Understanding money means you don't have to stress about it, so you can think about other, more interesting things.

In the end, I learned everything there was to learn about money.
I even worked in finance to find out what goes on in the heart of money.
And then I found out a shocking secret.
What's that? Okay, one, two, three, opening night! It turns out that understanding money is actually quite easy! When I discovered this truth, I was really upset.
Because I had this thought.
"Why on earth didn't anyone teach me how money works when I was a kid? If they had, I'd be so much better off!" It's really simple.
You will learn from now on too.

Do you feel too young to start earning, saving, and investing money? Not at all.
Now is the best time to learn good habits and take big risks!

If you give up good things, you can have many better things when you get older.
People with a lot of wealth have much more money than they can spend.
But that takes time and patience.
This is a very important and big issue that you all need to understand very well.
Even if you sweep up all the money in the world, you can't become rich if you don't save.
You can achieve financial freedom by practicing saving more than your salary.
No matter how small the amount is.
The magic of compound interest only works on the money you save.
So learning how to save money at a young age is like getting your Hogwarts acceptance letter.
Because it's proof that you are a wizard.
You can do magic with money.
Isn't it really cool?

What kind of world will be in the future depends on your generation.
I hope your generation will create a world with fewer unfortunate people, a world where all children have equal opportunities, no matter where they are born.

This book will help you learn to use your money wisely, but keep in mind that becoming wealthy later in life doesn't mean you're better than anyone else.
You shouldn't criticize poor people for being poor.
Poor people aren't poor because they don't work hard, aren't smart, or aren't good at managing their money.
The reason they are poor is because the economic system has collapsed, and the situation is now working against everyone except the few at the top.

One of the most important lessons you need to remember as you go through life is that it's okay to fail.
There are definitely things we can learn from failure.
Don't be afraid to try new things and fail.
It's difficult to keep moving forward after failure.
But once you overcome that hurdle, you can grow and develop much further.
It took me a really long time to learn this lesson.
When I was young, I was so afraid of failure that I only did things I was sure I could do well.
So I hated gym class the most and made all kinds of excuses to avoid doing sports.
It wasn't until much later that I realized that doing only what I was already good at was just missing out on new experiences, making me a very boring person, and blocking my path to a fulfilling life.

Don't stress yourself out thinking about what you want to be when you grow up.
Focus on honing your skills.
Focus on what you can do.
Find something you enjoy doing and practice it until you become good at it.
It would be even better if the technology were uncommon.

Some people are really looking for a job that will pay them the most money.
Then, you start planning your life based on making a lot of money.
I don't think that's a good way to live happily.
However, it's important to gather information about different careers (how much they earn, what they can offer, etc.) and be realistic about which careers might be difficult to earn.
When choosing a career, choose one that provides you with not only financial stability but also enjoyment and meaning, and strive to learn skills that you can pursue as a side hustle in your spare time.

Money is a part of the life you live.
No one is an exception.
Money gives us choices.
Money can either imprison you or give you freedom.
The important thing is that learning how to handle money well is something we all have to do throughout our lives.
There will never come a day when you become a master of money and say, “Wow, I’m a money expert now.”
There will be times when you make mistakes and go wrong.
But the important thing is not to try to be perfect, but to just try to be a little better and a little more conscious.
I'm trying to give myself more choices.
You are moving towards the life you truly want, a happier life.
