Older teens striking out on their own don't have to be rich to live independently, but they do need to be smart about money. Onscreen host Maria takes viewers through the confusing world of budgets, fixed vs. flexible expenses, compound interest, savings, the real costs of owning a car, and the pros and cons of credit cards, offering practical strategies for spending less than one earns—the key to financial freedom. In addition, real teens who are making the transition from being at home to living independently talk about various money challenges they've faced and smart choices they've made. A snappy, practical program perfect for any teenager about to leave the nest (and the purse strings), this is highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (E. Gieschen)
