About this book

A first-paycheck workbook for ages 16-18, carried by Memoon’s Financial Fortress story. Map take-home pay and bills by date, then plan essentials, protection and accessible emergency savings.

Compare two fictional credit-card payments all the way to zero, including months and total interest. Use the linked contents to reach first-paycheck chapters, the investing workshop and final planning worksheets.

Practise dated cash-flow gaps, repayment choices, fund factsheet trade-offs, SIP units and changing valuation assumptions. The free sample shows rent due before payday and the stock, active fund and index fund comparison.
