Money: How to Make It Work for You was written with simplicity and practicality in mind. Douglas M. Gebbie was motivated by the belief that, despite its importance, money management is rarely taught in schools in any meaningful way. Many people enter adulthood without even a basic understanding of how to budget, save, or make informed financial decisions.
This book aims to fill that gap by offering clear, straightforward guidance on handling money in everyday life. Written for readers without a financial background, it presents essential concepts in an accessible and approachable way. As financial literacy continues to gain recognition as a necessary life skill, Money serves as a helpful reference for individuals, families, and educators seeking a practical foundation in making money work for them-not the other way around.
