About

Money Minds for Teens is a practical guide helping teenagers build strong money habits early. It teaches young readers how to save, spend wisely, and make smart financial choices before adulthood. Rather than focusing on "get-rich-quick" schemes, it emphasizes small, consistent habits that create confidence and control. Written in a relatable voice, it empowers teens to understand money without feeling overwhelmed, providing the essential tools to build a future defined by freedom rather than fear.

Excerpts

If you’ve ever met a teenage boy who looks like he’s thinking deeply but is secretly wondering what to eat for lunch… well, that was Fariz.

One Saturday morning, he stood in front of my dusty old Myvi, sponge in hand, with a face that clearly said, “Uncle Lim… why am I here?”

Let me back up a bit.

Fariz is my neighbor’s son — a cheerful, sometimes blur, always well-meaning 14-year-old who loved football, nasi lemak and his PlayStation. His parents worked long hours, so he often wandered over to my porch after school, especially when my two boys were at home making noise like they were being paid to do it.

But that morning, it was just him… and my seriously overdue-for-a-wash car.
