This highly informative, timely, and readable book of advice for millennials, as well as their parents and grandparents, draws superbly on the author's years of financial and business experience and his great wisdom regarding career choices attained over his life journey. It is both a must and a most enjoyable read.--Frederick H. Lovejoy, Jr., MD, associate physician-in-chief and deputy chairman, Boston Children's Hospital, Department of Pediatrics, and William Berenberg Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Department of Pediatrics What makes this book unusual is its wide-ranging focus, starting with the foundations for success--personality factors, friends and mentors, and the continuing education, which places all that follows in context. Tools are less than useful unless they are tempered by an awareness of who you are and who has influenced your life. Rarely does a book offering guidance emphasize these crucial aspects when one is setting off on a professional career.--Walter Birge, former headmaster, Fenn School for Boys and former president, Concord Free Library Your Money Mentors offers well-researched advice for young people, with a grandfatherly tone and plenty of good, practical suggestions on friendship, mentors, jobs, and especially financial matters.

It contains bountiful and practical advice, distilled wisdom, and lived experience, which define boundaries and conditions for success in life and business. It is especially valuable for parents who overlooked opportunities to impart market advice to their children as well as for those young adults who ignored parental advice and are now starting young families of their own. Your Money Mentors is timely, as the structure of business is changing rapidly to adapt to digital media and technologies, but the ground rules of ethical practice have not changed, and the Robbs sum them up succinctly.--Brian Rosborough, founder, Earthwatch; trustee, Princeton University; Mount Holyoke College
