      Sure it is fun to play all day, but I think Peter Pan never wanted to grow up for another very good reason: there are no credit cards, mortgages, health insurance, or student loans in Neverland. In the real world, however, everyone struggles with these and other financial challenges. How to Be a Financial Grownup is the perfect personal finance storybook – with engaging money tales from real, successful people along with actionable advice. Follow their words of wisdom if you want a happy ending, folks!

      As a society, we’re used to seeking health and lifestyle advice from celebrities. How to Be a Financial Grownup applies that approach to financial health – a critical but often overlooked component of overall wellness. The result is a collection of engaging, practically applicable lessons about money from a variety of worthy teachers.

      To be a success, you need to know the difference between an idea and a gameplan. A lot of people have ideas, but not many have a real plan to bring them to life. Bobbi’s book is full of successful people who’ve had a real gameplan. It’s full of valuable advice to help make you a success – whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level.
