Map Your Financial Future hits the heart of the financial information our kids need as they begin their careers.

Map your future is an attention grabbing, easy to use, step by step solutions book. The author speaks in a tone that the average 18-25 year old can clearly understand and relate to the topic of money and spending it. The topic of finance is trying for most youngsters because of the relative ease at which they can obtain material goods in our society with little or no income. Before they know it, they are strapped with debt they never imagined possible.

Many of the most important modern conveniences are mentioned in this book. The correct use of conveniences from wholesale clubs to shopping online mentioned in "Map Your Future", cannot be overstated. To start out shopping the correct way, using Mr. Lyon’s tools, can mean the difference between permanent poverty or a life or debt free bliss.

Understanding financial woes from banking to bankruptcy in "Map Your Future" will save many a young soul. College campuses still manage to get credit cards in the hands of far too many immature spenders. Reading "Map Your Future" will change this trend if put in the hands of every high school and college student in America and beyond.

I encounter so many young people on a daily basis with credit trouble and am glad Patrick talks about what you can do to get back on track if you become overwhelmed with credit and plan for your retirement.

The fact that Patrick presents examples of places that teens and twenty-something’s frequent is great. Seeing illustrations of shopping for shoes or going out to a fast food place like McDonald's or a coffee shop like Starbucks made it seem more relevant to my life as a college student. I really think Map Your Future will be a huge help to people my age to get things in order for the real world as well as a means to introduce high school kids to real world practices.
