How do I find a job? How do I decide which job is right for me? What should I say in an interview to get hired? Do I need to go to college? Should I buy or lease a car? How do I know if I can afford something? How much money should I save? What do all these financial terms mean? How can I create a budget that works for me?
Navigating Financial Choices: A Young Adult to Education, Work, and Money is a practical and insightful guide to help young adults make sense out of the numerous choices they face, develop life skills, and understand how their own thinking will either support or derail future success.
This guide to "adulting" includes chapters on:
- Thoughts - We've all been programmed to hold certain beliefs about money. Discover how to change your attitude and possibly, your approach to handling finances.
- Education - Finding a job that suits our skillset and natural talents isn't always easy. Review various educational paths, including college and technical schools, so that you can make a better choice.
- Work - Entering the workforce requires an informed, dedicated approach. Learn how to get the job you want and advance in your career.
- Finances - From investing to saving to big purchases, how you plan and execute a financial plan is key for future success. Consider debt, credit, salaries, taxes, money management, and more in these comprehensive sections about all things financial.
With a decades-long career in accounting, human resources, and upper management, the author not only writes about topics she knows well but also shares the strategies she used as a single mom and taught her own three kids-now successful adults. She understands that financial choices are not one-size-fits-all, and she encourages readers to make choices that are best suited for their lives.
