Kids and Money - A Guide For Parents and Curious Kids on Saving, Spending and Money Mgmt by Leslie Reitman

Financial Independence. Someday our kids will grow up - because of what we do and in spite of what we do. Before that day comes, we have the time and the opportunity to help them understand the world of money. How much should they save? Do they know what a budget is? How much financial information is too much? What should you do about allowance? What about credit cards? How do we teach them to make the right financial choices? Whether you have a young child who is just learning about the value of currency or a teenager who thinks he can live on a certain salary and be well off for the rest of his life, all types of topics are covered in this book. There is a lot to learn over an 18 year period. Under your guidance, your child has a tremendous opportunity to learn, make mistakes and learn again - all before leaving home. This book covers a variety of topics and is intended to be a resource for parents and children of all ages. The lessons kids learn at any age can have a tremendous impact for their financial health over the long term.
