Book Introduction
100 New Financial and Economic Words for Teens!
Illiteracy makes life inconvenient, but financial illiteracy makes survival impossible.
- Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve Chairman


This book is the result of my reflections as a father of two on what kind of financial education I should provide to my children, and it is an honest record of how I learned the language of money in the easiest way possible.
The starting point of financial education is understanding the terminology.
I started organizing difficult financial terms into text and pictures and posting them on Instagram. Thanks to the sympathy and support of countless people, it was published as a book.

Publisher's Review
In the 2023 College Scholastic Ability Test, only 1.1% of test takers chose the subject of 'economics'.
It is said that it will be excluded from the CSAT starting in 2028.
The survey results showed that not only adults but also high school students are vulnerable to basic financial concepts such as credit cards and interest rates.
It is essential knowledge for survival, but the reality is that no one teaches it properly.
This book is the result of my reflections as a father of two on what kind of financial education I should provide to my children, and it is an honest record of how I learned the language of money in the easiest way possible.
The starting point of financial education is understanding the terminology.
I started organizing difficult financial terms into text and pictures and posting them on Instagram. Thanks to the sympathy and support of countless people, it was published as a book.

It's not a complicated theoretical book.
This book is the most friendly first step toward dispelling vague fears about finance and allowing you to read economic news from the perspective of someone who "knows."
By the time you finish this book, you will feel encouraged to begin your journey to wealth.

If you read this book
- The vague fears about the economy and finance disappear.
- You will gain the courage to take the first step towards wealth.
- We lay the foundation for providing our children with proper financial education.
- Financial education is not an option, it is a necessity.
I hope this book will help you and your family begin their journey toward financial freedom.
