    • Essential Reading for All Ages! Such A Great Book!
Format: Kindle
Financial Literacy 101 by Dave Levine is so much more than a book about money, it’s a gift of knowledge, wisdom, and heart. As someone who’s had the privilege of being mentored by Dave, I can confidently say that the lessons he shares in these pages are life-changing. In a world where schools often skip the essential topic of financial literacy, Dave steps in with clarity, purpose, and genuine care. This book covers what so many of us wish we had learned earlier from understanding the basics of money to exploring smart investments and even demystifying crypto. Every concept is broken down in a way that’s clear, actionable, and empowering. What makes Financial Literacy 101 truly special, though, is the why behind it. Dave wrote this for his daughters, a heartfelt guide to help them (and all young people) grow up confident, informed, and prepare for real-world financial decisions. That intention shines through every chapter. It’s not just a financial guide; it’s a father’s legacy of love and knowledge. Whether you’re a teen just starting out or an adult looking to finally get a solid grip on your finances, this book delivers. Awesome book Dave! Love it! ... show more

    • The gift of financial peace of mind
Format: Kindle
Financial Literacy 101 by Dave Levine is a timely and essential guide for today’s youth, arriving at a moment when peniaphobia—the fear of falling into poverty—is gripping young people facing rising costs, economic instability, and overwhelming financial stress. With clarity and simplicity, Levine starts an honest conversation about money, offering practical, easy-to-understand guidance on budgeting, saving, credit, and investing. This book should be mandatory reading for every middle and high school student, not only to empower them with the knowledge they need for a stable future, but also to spark much-needed discussions at home where many parents, lacking financial education themselves, have made costly mistakes. Accessible and engaging, Financial Literacy 101 is more than a money manual—it’s a lifeline for a generation under pressure. ... show more

    • Financial necessity
Format: Kindle
I'm a bit biased as a reviewer here as I was lucky enough to grow up with the author. He was an instrumental part of my financial education back in the 90s and helped contribute to my financial success. He was one of the first people that called the You Tube (self published videos) trend back in early 2000 when I didn't even understand the platform or understand how it was possible w the limited bandwidth. Having been privey to Dave's finical insights and predictions back in my 20s was extremely helpful to my financial literacy at a time when we were all mesmorized by day trading and other unfruitful financial activities. I always like to justify the author or speaker by looking at their success in life before listening to any of their advice...and I'm happy to say I watched Dave become succefull throughout his life by applying his own financial preachings to himself. He is someone who's financial opinion I value and respect based on his track record. The book is great starting point for anyone who wants to become financially savvy ..the structure is good and it's an easy read. I hope he continues to write more books on other areas and goes in depth because there is so much more knowledge within him that could help people. ... show more
