Invest in Your Financial Literacy by J. Ian Norris; Nancy Sowers Invest in Your Financial Literacy: A Guide for Financial Decision-Making provides readers with a straightforward and easy-to-follow handbook for exploring personal finance, making sound financial choices, developing good financial habits, and avoiding financial pitfalls.

Readers consider a variety of financial decisions, including accepting a job offer, allocating savings, budgeting, using credit cards, investing in stocks, and planning for retirement. Designed to demystify finance and help readers support their future financial goals, Invest in Your Financial Literacy is an ideal resource for students at all levels across all disciplines.
