Washington Post Recommends Our New O.M.G. Official Money Guide for College Students Book
This fall we released a new book,
O.M.G. Official Money Guide for College Students, just in time for students and parents to get a financial "heads-up" about what they are about to face as these young adults head off to college. And in October,
Washington Post's nationally syndicated columnist
Michelle Singletary selected it
as the October Color of Money Book Club choice!
Here's what Michelle had to say about the book:
"Millennials are being trained to consume information in the amount of time it takes to heat pizza in a microwave. "O.M.G. Official Money Guide for College Students" is an engaging way to communicate important financial information in micro-time that hopefully will lead to a lot of longer conversations."
