"[P]rovides fundamental information and a wealth of resources that readers can use to focus on areas of particular interest." Booklist, Starred Review
Your Money Mentors offers advice for millennials and their parents on how to succeed in the years post college graduation. Co-written by a millennial, and based on the author's sixty-plus years of experience in finance, the collective advice is full of data, current research, anecdotes, and suggestions regarding mentors, continuing education, internships, careers, starter jobs, setting financial goals, budgeting, and money matters concerning marriage. The book is presented in three parts: Foundations for Success, Careers, and Making Your Money Work.
The book features real-life stories of successful millennials in the traditional working world and those who have joined the "gig" economy, by choice, or otherwise. It considers an American school system that has slowly but surely become woefully inadequate in many parts of the country when it comes to preparing our millennial population to succeed in society. With that in mind, it offers concrete advice to help millennials and the generation coming up behind them excel in their futures. Your Money Mentors is an uplifting guidebook for this generation and beyond.
The tone of a caring adult mentoring a cherished family member moves Your Money Mentors from dry financial literacy tome to trusted heirloom. Inspired by a group of seasoned high-level financial professionals and fellow grandfathers, the book builds on the real-world challenges experienced by their millennial grandchildren…. Robb provides fundamental information and a wealth of resources that readers can use to focus on areas of particular interest. The reviews following each chapter guide individuals as they process and adapt the content to move along their unique pathway. The authentic experiences and insights shared by granddaughter Katie make this highly relatable for readers while modeling the "take what you need" approach to using the guide. As relevant for Gens X and Z as it is for millennials, the book is a great supplement to learning in financial literacy programs and would work well as an aid to parents delivering needed practical guidance. Your Money Mentors is a much needed, accessible addition to public and school library collections.
