The Book
A first twenty dollars. A lifetime of perspective.
Gratitude Is a Gift is an accessible introduction to financial literacy, investing, and the mindset behind responsible participation in the market. It begins with a simple, universal idea (earning a first twenty dollars) and builds, step by step, from the simple to the complex.
Along the way, Deluca Scott explores stocks, brokerage accounts, gains and losses, risk, transparency, and the emotional side of every financial decision, inviting readers of every age to treat investing as a practice of learning, observation, and patience rather than a promise of quick wealth.
