Every parent wonders how to
impart financial information to his or her child but how do you make sure that
the kids get the message? Steve and Annette Economides have used their own
experiences to create a helpful guide for parent with children of all ages.
Even if you have not started talking to your kids about money, the Economides realize
that it is never too late to get started. They put everything together in one book
Every chapter talks about a
different financial principle in every paragraph including how to save, how to
teach your kids about giving and how to deal with your kids asking for things
every time you go to the store. In each chapter, after providing some
statistics, experiences and personal stories, the Economides break down ways to
apply the information based on different age groups. The book is not just about
learn the principles; it is about how to practically apply them to your life.
My son is seven and my
daughter is five and we are currently trying out new methods for chores and
allowance. This book was a huge help. There were suggestions about how to talk
to our kids about certain things and how to encourage them to save and know
where every penny is going. While we are not yet ready for the chapters on
transportation or marriage, I can see this book being a resource that we look
to time and time again as the kids get older and we move into new stages of
life.
Steve and Annette Economides
are New York Time Bestselling authors and are fondly referred to as America’s
Cheapest Family. (Of course, you knew this book was right up my alley!!) I
would recommend this to parents with children of all ages. If you want new and
fresh ideas for how to approach finances with your children, this book is for
you.
I received a copy of this
book from Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
