Parents: Help your children learn and navigate the world of personal finance

Are your teenagers and college students financially literate?

Do they understand how the many decisions they make early in life (choosing a career and college) could have outsized financial consequences (good and bad) in the future?

Jeff Tyburski, Your Sherpa, draws on over 30 years of personal finance experience to provide a roadmap for becoming financially literate, and to educate and empower a new generation of students on their journey to good financial decisions and financial freedom.

Easy to follow and accessible, Your Sherpa encourages parents and kids to talk about money and financial wellness and shows them how to navigate key financial decisions in their lives. Story-based lessons illustrate that financial literacy is not the tedious, academic subject many expect but rather a tool to achieve better life outcomes. These lessons include how to avoid excessive college debt, learn to save, and be ready to invest for their futures. He gives actionable advice geared to help a new generation of readers form healthy financial habits that will last a lifetime. With this book for parents and online resources for students at yourfinancialsherpa.com, the ultimate goal is to teach young adults to make daily decisions to save and build wealth, starting early and compounding for decades.
