A Young Adult's Guide to Money, Investing, and Building Wealth

by Taletha Queen

Release date: December 8, 2026
Pre-order Kindle Edition

Most young adults step into the real world knowing they need to make money, but not fully understanding how money works. How do you build credit? What happens to your paycheck before it reaches your bank account? When should you start investing? And how do people actually build wealth through businesses, real estate, and other assets?

From Earning to Owning is more than a book about money. It's a step-by-step guide to putting financial knowledge into action. Starting with the mindset behind financial success, this practical and encouraging guide walks young adults ages 16–24 through everyday money decisions, investing, ownership, and building something that lasts.

And it doesn't stop at explaining what to do. Hands-on worksheets and practical exercises help you apply what you've learned, make a plan, and begin taking real steps toward your financial future.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Build a strong financial mindset and healthy money habits
  • Understand paychecks, taxes, budgeting, and cash flow
  • Build credit, manage debt, and make informed financial decisions
  • Start saving, investing, and growing your money
  • Navigate your first car, apartment, and home
  • Own assets like real estate and businesses
  • Prepare for major milestones and build a lasting legacy
