About the book
13 moves to start ahead
Make Your Move follows a brother and sister. Humphrey, 13, earns money with side jobs like mowing lawns and washing cars. Mercedes, 16, just got her first real job. Their story makes every lesson feel real.
Each chapter is a “Move,” and every Move has a Real Talk with Chad box where I share what I learned the hard way. Teens assess where they are, set where they want to be and track their progress as they go.
Teens will learn
- Why to pay yourself first
- How to read a paycheck, and why it’s smaller than they think
- Debit vs. credit, and how to build good credit
- How to spot scams aimed at teens
- How time and compound growth turn small amounts into real money
Light on story, heavy on education. Read it once, then use it as a reference. Available in paperback, Kindle and hardcover.
