WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER
"An incredible, compelling read. It covers an astonishing amount of ground with basic simplicity and good humor. A masterful starting point for any investor. Tina Hay is a wizard."--Ben Stein, economist, author, actor and commentator
A handy crash course in personal finance, Napkin Finance is the groundbreaking guide everyone needs to help them manage their money and feel more secure.
Surveys have found that two thirds of Americans can't pass a basic financial literacy test, and nine in ten believe personal finance should become a required high school course. Tina Hay understands the confusion. While attending Harvard Business School, she struggled to keep up with classmates-many of whom came from the banking world-when it came to understanding jargon and numbers-heavy concepts. Tina developed a visual learning strategy using sketches and infographics that helped her succeed in her studies and master even the most complex financial topics.
Since then, Tina founded Napkin Finance, a thriving company built on the concept of taking seemingly overwhelming topics--such as budgeting, investments, and retirement accounts--and turning them into simple, skimmable explanations. Now, she's synthesized the most important content into this personal finance handbook. Napkin Finance includes dozens of individual learning modules, on topics ranging from credit scores to paying off student loans to economics and blockchain.
The first illustrated guide that makes finance fun and accessible, Napkin Finance can help even the most numbers-phobic reader learn about complex financial topics without dying of boredom.

Booklist Review
Written by a Harvard MBA, this print version of the material found on the Napkin Finance website is designed for readers seeking a broad introduction to the topic. Financial concepts are explained with a combination of napkins (cleverly illustrated single pages) and supporting information in the form of tables and bulleted lists. Topics are explored in a logical order in twelve chapters, starting with Money 101, which encompasses basic concepts such as savings, debt, interest, and insurance. The remaining chapters range from everyday concerns (credit cards, Social Security, and tax returns) to more sophisticated issues (cryptocurrency, blockchain, and hedge funds). Each chapter concludes with a multiple-choice quiz. Material is presented in a clear, concise, and visually appealing way. The book will be most useful to readers who feel that they lack even the most basic financial literacy, as topics are covered in very general terms. In addition, younger readers may prefer to view the material online, where short videos are also available. Overall, a nice introduction to basic finance that may leave readers wanting more information.--Jennifer Michaelson Copyright 2019 Booklist
Library Journal Review
Struggling at Harvard Business School with terminology and numbers-laden concepts that fellow students with a banking background breezed through, Hay devised a visual learning strategy using sketches and infographics that helped her conquer all. Then she founded the multimedia company Napkin Finance to help anyone understand essential concepts of money without fear or glazed eyes. Michelle Obama's Better Make Room campaign is among her clients. Including 60 learning modules in a seven-inch square format, with each module including a four-color Napkin (hmm, that's new) plus explanations and visual elements; a 75,000 copy first printing.
