The Money Math Workout

Most people have a complicated relationship with money. Turns out, it's the maths they were never taught.

You know you should be saving more, but compound interest feels abstract. You've signed loan agreements without fully checking the numbers. You've paid minimum balances not quite sure what was happening underneath. None of that is your fault - these calculations were never explained in plain terms.

The Money Math Workout changes that. Not with theory. With practice. Real numbers from real financial decisions - budgets, interest rates, loan payments, credit card balances, savings goals, tax estimates, and the percentages behind every deal, raise, and bill you encounter.

Every chapter covers one essential money skill and gives you enough practice to actually trust yourself with it.

Inside each of the 7 chapters:

• Quick Reference Card - The concept in plain English. One page. No jargon.
• 4 Fully Worked Examples - Every step shown. Every calculation explained.
• Set A: 20 standard practice problems. Build the skill.
• Set B: 20 real-world word problems. Use the skill.
• Set C: 10 mental math challenges. No calculator allowed.
• Set D: 5 "Explain It" prompts. Prove you understand it, not just calculate it.
• Brain Break - A fascinating bit of financial history to keep things interesting.
• Full Answer Key - At the end of each chapter, not hidden in the back.
