"Improving financial literacy is one of the greatest opportunities in America" says author Paul Nourigat. A leading financial consultant and father of three, Nourigat is deeply invested in helping young Americans become independent through financial competencies, life skills and self-esteem. His nine financial success books can be found in homes, schools and libraries throughout the US, with college scholarship programs associated with two of his titles.Nourigat's inspiration came from thousands of consulting engagements over the past 30 years and the resounding messages he heard from clients .... "They wish they'd learned more about personal finance earlier in life. Also, most are deeply concerned for the financial preparedness of their children and grandchildren, given an increasingly complex and global economy." In 2010, Nourigat set out on a mission to create innovative and engaging books which bring financial concepts to life. Recognizing that each age group demands varied approaches, his works include fictional, non-fictional and illustrations to bring financial concepts to life. Nourigat's newest title (No Time To Wander) is for adults in their 20's & 30's who are striving to establish financial independence and want straight talk. His prior title is a graphic novel for teens (If Money Could Shout: the brutal truths), using 8 fully illustrated short stories. His original five book collection/series (Marvels of Money ... for kids) is designed to engage kids in fictional illustrated stories which follow a couple of kids through life and situations which kids can relate to. Through his nine books, Nourigat commissioned artists across America to create over 600 original illustrations.
