The Money School: 12 Simple Lessons to Master Financial Markets and Investing

"This is the perfect guide for readers ready to move from balancing their checkbook to investing in the stock market and themselves... Highly recommended." - Library Journal

Realize financial stability and investing confidence with this one-of-a-kind resource by renowned money expert Nicole Lapin.

New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch Nicole Lapin gives you the skinny on how financial markets and common investing strategies work to build your understanding and gain confidence. The Money School is divided into courses (of course), four of them, with three levels each, totaling 12 lessons all together. The first course focuses on the stock market, where you'll learn all about one of the most potent and accessible forces in our financial system. The second zooms into debt (the good kind!), where you own debt, not owe it via CDs and treasury bonds. The third course steps it up with more exotic or advanced securities like commodities, currencies, and derivatives. The final part wraps it all up with how you can make a portfolio to help you reach your own financial success as you define it.

Once you have completed the courses, turn to the end of the book for self-assessment quizzes and a full dictionary of key financial terms to keep on hand as a resource. Class is in session!
