Starting out with money can be exciting, confusing and sometimes a little overwhelming.
The Money Side of Living: Starting Out with Money is a practical guide designed to help young people understand the everyday money skills they’ll need as they begin earning, spending, saving and making more of their own financial decisions.
Written in straightforward, easy-to-understand language, the book takes money out of the textbook and puts it into real life.
It covers practical topics including getting your first job, understanding pay and payslips, tax, superannuation, banking, staying safe from scams, budgeting, saving, setting goals and making everyday money decisions.
Rather than telling young people what they should do with their money, the book helps them understand how money works, so they can start making informed decisions for themselves.
It’s a great resource for teenagers and young adults, as well as parents, carers, educators, youth organisations and anyone helping a young person prepare for greater financial independence.
Inside you'll learn about:
Getting started with work and earning money
Understanding your pay and payslip
Tax and superannuation
Bank accounts and everyday banking
Staying safer from scams
Budgeting and managing expenses
Saving and setting financial goals
Making confident everyday money decisions
Written by Jackie Matjasec, founder of The Simple Budget, Starting Out with Money brings together the practical money concepts Jackie teaches in her financial literacy workshops and money-skills sessions.
Because learning how to manage money shouldn't have to start with making expensive mistakes.
