Books with author Shane Dillon

The Franklin Fi is a must-read for anyone that has ever wanted to learn how to invest in the stock market but has been too intimidated to take the first step.

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.

He hopes this story of financial freedom will inspire the next generation of bike-riding, yoga-loving, world travelers to go further and delve deeper.

This is the first installment of the series and sets the stage for the friends as they venture onto Wall Street. Why is personal finance not taught to young adults in high school and universities? The basis of The Franklin Fi is to provide upstart youth with their first personal finance lesson.
