If you’re young, dumb, and broke – or at least, two of those – I’m writing with you in mind. Chances are, plenty of people have already said to you that money makes the world go round. I’ll guess that you’ve also been told, pretty relentlessly, to work hard and get that bread. And to always make sure to save something for a rainy day. Although, let’s not forget: money doesn’t grow on trees – and a penny earned is a penny saved. But wait... aren’t the best things in life free? You probably hear these sayings as frequently as the words please and thank you. But what do you actually know about money and how to manage it? Not rhetorical – try answering imaginary me. If you’re struggling to come up with something, you’re not alone. I once asked someone what they knew about money and they recited at least two of the idioms above. That’s because, for most of us, our education about money ends with the catchy sayings. When we’re grilled on our financial knowledge, it’s a miracle we don’t respond with lyrics from Khalid’s ‘Young, Dumb and Broke’ – that seems to be how little we know. If you're puzzled about the difference between debit and credit cards, curious about the stock market, or just eager to learn from my mistakes – this book is for you. Written by Taj Pabari, a celebrated social entrepreneur, innovator and a visionary force behind The ASE Group, this book is your map through the maze of tax terminology, investment ideas, and money matters you’ll come across when you start adulting. From tearing apart a laptop in the back of the classroom as a kid, to buying his first house at eighteen and founding a transformative educational organisation, Taj shares his journey with honesty and humour. He unpacks the essential financial literacy skills that schools skipped – equipping you with the knowledge to chase your financial dreams, however daunting they might seem.

After spending her middle school years playing second mom to her siblings, Azerica Christian has decided to live life for herself. She's in high school. She's a cheerleader. She's becoming popular and living life with no regrets... even if that means breaking all the rules.
Young, freshly married, and pregnant with her first child, Nicole Clark is met with devastating news: she has cancer, stage 2B. Suddenly, amid the hope she feels for this new life, she finds herself face to face with death. This leads her to reflect on her childhood in rural New Brunswick, through her romance with her husband, to the unimaginable predicament she now faces. Only five days after the birth of her first child, Nicole starts chemo. This is only the beginning of the harrowing experience she must endure. As she raises her daughter, she must ferry herself to doctor’s appointments and chemo sessions, dealing with her husband’s long absences for work as he tries to make money to support them through what no one should have to experience. All the while, she is forced to wonder: will she be around to see her daughter grow up? Then comes the pain of missing Christmas with her daughter, of being unable to bring herself to take baby pictures because of how little she wants to be remembered this way, of having to conceal the hopelessness her sickness brings on. Nicole is forced to reckon with what really matters: time with her family, and the pleasure of a night without nausea or a shower without a medical incision. She learns what someone going through cancer most needs from others: just being there. And through this, her faith and compassion grow. Only two years after beating cancer the first time, Nicole relapses—and this time, it’s more aggressive. She is told she will never again have a child. But with faith, miracles can happen—and her life proves a testament to this elusive truth.
