ABOUT THE BOOK

The Student's Guide to Financial Freedom is a practical, empowering personal finance guide that gives young people a clear roadmap to build wealth early in life. Written by bestselling author and nationally recognized financial educator Dr. Paris Woods, this student edition of her acclaimed money guide distills the essential steps to earn more, avoid common financial pitfalls, and invest early so students can create a future with real options. 

Designed for high school and college students, first-generation college-goers, and young adults starting out, the book covers core topics in financial literacy including debt-free college strategies, income growth, investing, and financial independence. Readers will learn how to: 

- Graduate without student debt while still earning a degree from their dream school

- Start investing-even with limited funds 
- Create a "Freedom Fund" to support travel, entrepreneurship, or career shifts

Whether readers dream of travel, business ownership, or simply living without money stress, this guide provides actionable steps, tools, and mindset shifts to make financial freedom achievable. The Student's Guide to Financial Freedom helps young people design lives they love-on their own terms.
