First to a Million: A Teenager’s Guide to Achieving Early Financial Independence

This book was incredibly written and amazing!

I can not wait to have my classes read this book. After lucking out and hearing Dan speak on Bigger Pockets a few months ago, I thought "that might be a great book for my Money & Finance class", and after reading it, it's that and more. Dan's years as a teacher have given him this ability to write to the teen mindset that captures them and reaches them. For example, the references in his book are not just to other books, but to websites, blogs, podcasts, and YouTube videos. The book has an easy to approach pace with great energy that is going to inspire young people because it shows how these financial goals are attainable and has action steps to help them reach their goals starting immediately. The book has also already heled me create several Google slideshows and activities for my class as well. The school board has approved the book and my department has committed to buying a class set. Thanks Dan and Bigger Pockets.Sean - high school teacher, Maryland

I am friends with Dan and have seen how much time and energy has gone in to build his community of Sheeks Freaks. So when he came out with this book I was going to support him no matter what. What blew me away was how compressive this book is. It would be on the top of my list to give to young professional or a teen as it relates to really grasping this money concept. Really impressed and proud of Dan for all the work making this book the ultimate teenage guide to financial independence.

Honestly if you get this book I suggest you to write a million notes and use all the resources and knowledge given, not only does it teach you about financial independence but it allows you to start to find yourself and figure out what life path you would like to take. 10/10, i picked this book up and couldn’t stop reading it making me finish it in a day. Definitely a must read for teens.

I had minimal financial education when growing up and had to learn many of the lessons in this book on my own and too late. I wanted this to be different for my kids. I read this book every night with my 13-year-old daughter and then discussed it with her. She quickly grasped the concepts and incorporated the vocabulary: "Dad, that is a good idea for a side hustle." Or, "Dad, I'm going to house hack when I grow up." I highly recommend this book for teenagers and adults alike. Keep a copy handy because you'll be reading it again and again.

I heard the author on a podcast and loved his information and enthusiasm. Bought for my son and his friend for their high school graduation. Now they are in a race with each other!

This is a book every teen should read!! It will change the trajectory of their life!

Great information to get high age kids intro to basic investment strategies. Bought for my 9th grader
