The stories are real
What makes Making Cents different is that the stories are real. They are stories of money from people in Kenya: their struggles, mistakes, lessons and successes.
Practical tools at the end of every chapter
Through these stories, you may see yourself, your own situation, or that of a friend, partner or neighbour. But the book does more than tell stories. At the end of each chapter, practical tools help you examine your own finances, understand the habits shaping your decisions and begin taking steps towards creating wealth.
Making Cents is an invitation to look differently at your relationship with money, learn from the experiences of others and make more intentional choices about your own financial journey.
