First Paycheck

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

First Paycheck — Money Wisdom for Teens is written for the teenager with a job, or about to get one, in twelve chapters across three movements: Your Money, God's Money; The Three Buckets; and Money Wisdom. Its framework is "Earn. Save. Give." — and the buckets run Give First, Save Second, Spend Smart, with a budget that actually works, debt named as a trap, and generosity as the goal. Every chapter ends with "Your move this week," one real action. The book closes with "A Personal Invitation: Give Your Life to Jesus Christ," including the Sinner's Prayer and what comes next. Scripture quotations are from the ESV. Written from a Christian worldview — Scripture first.
