If you’re young, dumb, and broke – or at least, two of those – I’m writing with you in mind.

Chances are, plenty of people have already said to you that money makes the world go round. I’ll guess that you’ve also been told, pretty relentlessly, to work hard and get that bread. And to always make sure to save something for a rainy day. Although, let’s not forget: money doesn’t grow on trees – and a penny earned is a penny saved. But wait... aren’t the best things in life free?

You probably hear these sayings as frequently as the words please and thank you. But what do you actually know about money and how to manage it? Not rhetorical – try answering imaginary me.

If you’re struggling to come up with something, you’re not alone. I once asked someone what they knew about money and they recited at least two of the idioms above. That’s because, for most of us, our education about money ends with the catchy sayings. When we’re grilled on our financial knowledge, it’s a miracle we don’t respond with lyrics from Khalid’s ‘Young, Dumb and Broke’ – that seems to be how little we know.

If you're puzzled about the difference between debit and credit cards, curious about the stock market, or just eager to learn from my mistakes – this book is for you.

Written by Taj Pabari, a celebrated social entrepreneur, innovator and a visionary force behind The ASE Group, this book is your map through the maze of tax terminology, investment ideas, and money matters you’ll come across when you start adulting. From tearing apart a laptop in the back of the classroom as a kid, to buying his first house at eighteen and founding a transformative educational organisation, Taj shares his journey with honesty and humour. He unpacks the essential financial literacy skills that schools skipped – equipping you with the knowledge to chase your financial dreams, however daunting they might seem.
