As our late ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala once said “Start early, dream big, and let your money grow with you.”
The Inspiration Behind the Book
Growing up, Jigar noticed how money was rarely discussed at home or in schools beyond simple budgeting. Teens entered adulthood with little awareness of saving, investing, or avoiding financial traps—knowledge that could have saved them stress and setbacks. That gap inspired him to write Cash Cool. He wanted to make sure today’s teens don’t step into the working world unprepared.
What Makes Cash Cool Unique
Unlike traditional finance guides that focus on adults, Cash Cool speaks the language of young readers. The book simplifies concepts like saving, spending wisely, side hustles, and investing—all with examples rooted in Indian life, whether you’re in a bustling metro or a small town. It also tackles modern challenges like online scams, UPI frauds, and the pressure of FOMO-driven spending.
But Jigar goes further—he introduces the joy of giving back, helping teens see money not just as a tool for wealth, but as a way to make a difference in their communities. Every chapter also includes fun activities, tips, and even advice for parents, making this a guide for the whole family.
The Author’s Vision
Jigar believes that money confidence should start young. Inspired by legendary investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s words, “Start early, dream big, and let your money grow with you,” he encourages teens to build habits now that will serve them for a lifetime. With passion and clarity, Jigar hopes Cash Cool will spark a movement where financial literacy becomes as natural as learning to ride a bike or cook your first meal.
