The Tuttle Twins and the Messed Up Market

Banks, budgets, loans, and interest — most people use them their whole lives without ever understanding how they really work. Ethan and Emily Tuttle are about to learn the hard way. In The Messed Up Market, the twins discover the trade-offs behind everyday financial decisions, the power of delayed gratification, and a surprising truth: the choices other people make can ripple through the entire market and affect everyone.
