Smart is the New Rich: Money Guide for Millennials

"With Smart is the New Rich, Christine Romans has managed to turn a book about saving and investing money into an enormously entertaining read. If your plans include sleeping under a roof, eating food, wearing clothes, raising a family, and paying off your college loan, you should read this book first thing tomorrow. If you're dreaming even bigger you should read it today."
—Aaron Sorkin, American screenwriter and playwright

"Everything you want to know about money but were afraid to ask! Our children–today's millennials–badly need a smart travel guide through the value of a dollar. I myself have learned so much over the years from CNN's Christine Romans' ability to cut through the financial clutter, and her book comes not a moment too soon!"
—Christiane Amanpour, CNN chief international correspondent
