Money according to dictionary.com has been defined as any circulating medium of exchange, including coins, paper money, and demand deposits.

When I was a child, I thought of money as some kind of reward. I remember getting plenty of it during Christmas from my parents and god parents. Until I grew up a little more and  noticed that you have to work hard in order for you to earn some money, that I saw from my parents how they  came to earn  it.

I vividly remember being taught about money in school during our elementary days on how to identify coins and paper bills from a single centavo up to 500 pesos then.  We even brought along with us some play money then.

I only get to have a full grasp of understanding about money when I was in college. Being a Banking and Finance major have made me informed about money and all. But sadly, most were just by the books or I was just too stubborn to put all those knowledge in practice. 😛

This book, “ I Wish They Taught Money In High School” (2-in-1 Book) is  an enlightenment on how one can properly manage one’s money. 

First Part:  I Wish They Taught Money In High School – So I’m Not Dependent On My Paycheck By Clarisa Seriña- Dela Paz

I really enjoyed reading this part because being an employee myself, I get to relate on most of the topics being raised by the author. Again, I was enlightened by the many instances on how she clearly illustrates from her own experiences on we can be able to have a passive income without giving up our day jobs and used our salary to augment our income more.

Second Part: I Wish They Taught Money In High School – So I Can Start My Own Business Right Away By Sharon W. Que

Again, in this part the author was also able to clearly convey the message and importance of Money in terms of Business. I am glad how she shared useful tips and information while you start up on your own business. The overviews and what you can expect on how things go around while doing the business.

I love reading  the book. It is very handy, paper quality is good and from the clear illustrations and simple manner of explaining and pointing out the importance of money in our everyday lives and how we could make use of the resources around us makes it a good reference for a everyone. Most especially to the young ones who is just starting out to explore and would love to venture out into investment and business.

Save. Invest. Risk. Work. Family. Friends. God. All of these have been greatly tackled into this book. I was inspired and motivated by the good points shared in the book.
