The Franklin Fi

By Shane Dillon

The Franklin Fi is a riotous novel about four high schoolers learning to invest in the stock market. The friends learn the hard way, as they get their first jobs and begin to save for their futures. The Franklin Fi is the first installment of the three-part series which sets the stage for the friends as they venture onto Wall Street. Author Shane Dillon wrote The Franklin Fi Series while bicycling across Europe, laying the groundwork in Spain and reaching the conclusion near the Black Sea in Romania. Shane Dillion has a degree in finance from the University of Missouri, an MBA from Sonoma State University, specializing in the Wine Industry, and twenty years of stock market experience. He hopes this story of financial freedom will inspire the next generation of bike-riding, yoga-loving, world travelers to dive deeper into the world of investment leading to a future of financial freedom. Why is personal finance not taught to young adults in high school and universities? The Franklin Fi is here for high schoolers, college students, and other beginning investors looking for pointers to start their education in personal finance and get a few laughs in the process. The basis of The Franklin Fi is to provide upstart youth their first personal finance lesson. Shane Dillon’s aim is to demystify personal finance and provide a crash course towards making important life decisions which may lead to achieving financial freedom in the future. This book teaches the basics of the stock market and depicts four distinct investment styles in the personalities of the main characters. So come along!
