Who doesn't want to be a millionaire?
Written for every kid and perfect for every parent who wants to raise a kid who’s smart, confident, and thrifty about money, How to Turn $100 into $1,000,000 is a practical, entertaining, and inspiring guidebook to earning, spending, and saving money.
The journey starts by teaching readers how to earn their first hundred dollars. The rest of the book sets them on course to a million bucks. From thinking like a millionaire: millionaires are people who save money, not people who spend it. To learning the ways to get money: ask for an allowance, get a job, start a business. To the potential pitfalls every millionaire encounters on the way: spending sprees, Ponzi schemes, and spending more than you make. Plus chapters on budgeting, saving, and investing.
A lively design and illustrations throughout including an infographic on Charting a Course for the Island of Financial Freedom (with short-, medium-, and long-term goals); how to "Dress for Success" whatever job you're seeking; sample budgets and resumes; and fun charts like Billionaires and Their First Jobs (where you learn that Warren Buffett delivered newspapers at age 13).
Written in a concise but playful tone, How to Turn $100 into $1,000,000 is an accessible, exciting, and essential book for any modern, money-savvy kid.
