Is getting your finances in order at the top of your to-do list each year? Do you feel guilty about your money habits and overwhelmed by the thought of addressing them? Does your lack of financial knowledge prevent you from taking any real steps toward change?
Your road to financial freedom does not have to be as stressful as you think, and your financial situation is likely not as bleak as it appears.
Most people are never taught personal finance, yet they feel shame for not knowing the solutions to their financial problems in adulthood. Jake Cousineau's Face Your Financial Fears addresses these issues by making personal finance personal—Jake helps you to understand your financial situation, provides actionable steps to address your money problems, and sets measurable goals that are relevant to you.
An essential resource for a high school graduate, college student, or any other young adult who needs to prepare for the financial realities of adulthood.
Drawing on years of teaching personal finance in the high school classroom, as well as valuable life experience as a young professional, Cousineau introduces topics ranging from compound interest and mutual funds to Roth IRAs and insurance deductibles. Each chapter contains straightforward explanations, practical examples, revealing anecdotes, and hands-on tools that will help you to jump-start your personal financial journey.

What age group is this book for?
While I hope people will read this book when they are young, How to Adult is meant for anyone who needs a foundation in personal finance. Although it covers simpler topics like basic banking, it also covers Roth IRAs and index funds, which the majority of adults cannot competently explain.
