The Student's Guide to Financial Freedom equips young people with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed financial decisions early-before debt, confusion, and missed opportunities take hold.

Written by nationally recognized financial educator and bestselling author Dr. Paris Woods, this book offers a practical, student-centered introduction to money management, earning, and investing. Designed to support long-term economic mobility, it serves as a valuable resource for financial literacy instruction, college readiness programs, and independent learning.

Adapted from Dr. Woods's widely used personal finance guide that has reached more than 130,000 readers, this student edition translates complex financial concepts into accessible, real-world strategies appropriate for high school students, college students, and young adults. The approach emphasizes financial confidence, informed choice, and early habit-building rather than deprivation or unrealistic expectations.

Readers will learn how to make thoughtful decisions about student loans and educational costs, understand earning potential and early career income strategies, build foundational knowledge of saving and investing, develop flexible financial systems, and connect money management to personal goals, values, and life design.

Well suited for high school and college students, financial literacy and college readiness programs, educators, counselors, and parents, The Student's Guide to Financial Freedom provides a clear and empowering foundation for building financial stability, flexibility, and choice-starting early and lasting a lifetime.
