Young people bear the brunt of this inequality because it makes it harder to get a job and to pay for the college education you need to move up the ladder. Political changes could help close the gap, but in the meantime, teens can help prepare themselves for financial independence. In this book, teens write about learning to handle money wisely, to manage their own income, to pay for college, and how our larger economic system determines their financial standing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Essays include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEqual Work, Unequal Pay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rags to Riches Myth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJob-Hopping to a Career\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Took a Scam Job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJob-Hunting Tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Guide to Drama-Free Banking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Credit Card Gave Me False Security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Don't Save It for a Rainy Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Am I Supposed to Pay for College?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountdown to Independence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand more \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Through these essays, teen readers--as well as their parents, teachers, and caregivers--will pick up new tricks to managing their money but will also be provided a much-needed glimpse into how the world looks to our younger generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6793559\"\u003eYouth Communication\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sky Pony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510759923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1510759921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-YAN\"\u003eYoung Adult Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-YAN040000\"\u003ePersonal Finance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-YAN\"\u003eYoung Adult Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-YAN010000\"\u003eBusiness \u0026amp; Economics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-YAN\"\u003eYoung Adult Nonfiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-YAN018050\"\u003eFamily | Orphans \u0026amp; Foster Homes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYCteen \u003c\/b\u003epublishes true stories by teens, giving readers insight into the issues that matter most in young people's lives.
