20.01.2022 Thanks Russ Renee R Edwards for this amazing feedback on FLY! Means the world "Anyone with young adults should buy this book! It teaches everything to teenagers that School won't (however should) about growing up and handling all financial responsibilities. Wish I had a copy when I was younger. It has still taught me a thing or two As a bonus, written by 2 Cairns Ex Locals." #fly #financiallyliterateyouth #setforsuccess

19.01.2022 This week is Global Money Week: 22 28 March 2021 GMW is an annual global awareness-raising campaign on the importance of ensuring that young people, from an early age, are financially aware, and are gradually acquiring the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience. GMW2021 Theme! Take care of yourself, take care of your money... This is a new theme for #GlobalMoneyWeek2021. Feel free to use this theme to create your GMW activities. GMW’s slogan ‘Learn.Save.Earn.’ may also continue to be used. You can learn more about Global Money Week here: https://globalmoneyweek.org/ F.L.Y is a great tool that supports the mission of Global Money Week and we hope the awareness continues to grow so we can support our youth to FLY!!! #GlobalMoneyWeek2021 #fly #financiallyliterateyouth #setforsuccess

18.01.2022 The Penguin Random House approved front cover of FLY is here . I’m so happy they worked with our original design rather than something completely new. We were a little attached to the cover to be honest ... which was done by an incredible illustrator Angelo Vlachoulis who has done awesome work including front covers for the Australian Financial Review. The black has been changed for the light blue to make the design more bright on the shelves. We hope it speaks to the youth and their parents and families alike #updatedcoverreveal #fly #financiallyliterateyouth #setforsuccess

03.01.2022 For anyone who missed it today, here is the clip from our interview with David and Sylvia on Today Extra.

02.01.2022 Loved receiving these inspirational words by our incredible narrator @aimeesmithva: It was beautiful timing when I booked my narration job at Penguin for the audiobook version of 'FLY: Financially Literate Youth.' My husband and I had been stuck in a phase of saving for a deposit for a house for almost 5 years; a little hesitant as to when we could move to the next stage, and confused as to what that next stage even looked like! Thankfully, Chapter 5 of the audiobook was th...e longest chapter, breaking down the process beautifully, with lots of references to external sites that could assist the process. Just a few weeks after finishing the recording, I finally had the confidence to drag my husband along to see a mortgage broker, and knew what questions to ask and the hidden costs we were looking for! Thanks for such an insightful read, Marlies and Jai! We'll be taking the plunge a little later this year!" - Aimee Smith, Audiobook Narrator for 'FLY: Financially Literate Youth' #fly #penguinbooksaus #penguinaudio See more
