Description

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER“An incredible, compelling read. It covers an astonishing amount of ground with basic simplicity and good humor. A masterful starting point for any investor. Tina Hay is a wizard.”—Ben Stein, economist, author, actor and commentatorA handy crash course in personal finance, Napkin Finance is the groundbreaking guide everyone needs to help them manage their money and feel more secure.Surveys have found that two thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test, and nine in ten believe personal finance should become a required high school course. Tina Hay understands the confusion. While attending Harvard Business School, she struggled to keep up with classmates–many of whom came from the banking world–when it came to understanding jargon and numbers-heavy concepts. Tina developed a visual learning strategy using sketches and infographics that helped her succeed in her studies and master even the most complex financial topics.Since then, Tina founded Napkin Finance, a thriving company built on the concept of taking seemingly overwhelming topics—such as budgeting, investments, and retirement accounts—and turning them into simple, skimmable explanations. Now, she’s synthesized the most important content into this personal finance handbook. Napkin Finance includes dozens of individual learning modules, on topics ranging from credit scores to paying off student loans to economics and blockchain. The first illustrated guide that makes finance fun and accessible, Napkin Finance can help even the most numbers-phobic reader learn about complex financial topics without dying of boredom.

A fun adventure that demystifies finance.
Format: Hardcover
This book is great. Finance is not my strong suit and this book, in particular, is a fun way to help me understand some of the basics of money. Is it an encyclopedia with everything you'll ever need to know? No. But I think that's why it's great. The book deftly transitions between easy to comprehend sketches and supplemental, in-depth explanations of those concepts. It's well worth the price of admission and I would recommend it to anyone in need of an introduction to finance. Amazing! ... show more

A great and fun read for anyone looking to start investing, saving or managing your money smarter
Format: Hardcover
I've read many, many finances books from boring complex ones, to how to invest better, listen to lots of podcasts on the topic and have a good knowledge of finance. I have to say this is one of the best books I've ever read on the topic of money. It is fun to read, breaks down complex topics into understandable and engaging sections and covers the nuts and bolts of what you need to know to make start making better choices. I am also having a blast reading this book with my nine year old to help him become financially literate at a young age. He loves the drawings, the fun facts and the quizzes (which have been serious and quirky parts). Far too many people in my network don't take the time to get the basics of finance down and instead leave it to the experts who may not always operate in the best interests of their clients. I urge you to share this book widely and help as many people learn about finance to make better decisions. Of course one will still need to read more in-depth literature for in-depth guidance about different investing philosophies, but this book provides the best foundation I've seen. ... show more

Great gift for grads

Very simple, easy to understand
Format: Kindle
The topics I knew about had good explanations from my understanding, and the unfamiliar topics made sense. It's nice to have a basic resource with fun facts and even simpler summaries. I honestly didn't use the napkins all that much, but I appreciated them when I did. Neat book.

A must read for teens and adults!
Format: Hardcover
A must read for teens and adults! Napkin Finance is an engaging and highly informative read for all ages. It does an amazing job of using illustrations and humor to explain complex financial terms and concepts in a brilliantly simple and effective manner. Most books and online articles I’ve found are really dry and hard to understand, i.e. just not something that teens (or many adults) can relate to. As a parent, I feel that financial literacy is an important and necessary component of my children’s education. That is why I feel that this book should be required reading for all young (and not so young) adults as it is an important tool for helping them make informed financial decisions throughout the lives. Highly recommend ... show more

Finance is Finally Engaging
Format: Hardcover
This is a brilliant ‘all in’ book that is hugely informative about all the things you need to know about finance presented in an appealing, engaging manner that actually makes it a fun read! Books about finance are usually so intimidating in presentation that I barely even get started. So, to have a finance book that is actually inviting to read cover to cover and learn the basics and smart tips along the way in a compelling visual manner that doesn’t crowd things with unnecessary information is golden. I plan to keep this as my “go to” source. Plus, it makes a great coffee table book! ... show more

Format: Hardcover
Great basic finance. Good luck getting your wife to read it. My only complaint is the color of the printing. The publisher tries to get cute and uses a faint pastel ink. Hard to read.

Good book but missing chapters
Format: Hardcover
I gave this book to my daughter for Christmas and it was missing over 30 pages in the middle of the book. Other than that it is a good book but those were key chapters.
