  • This is a really good book
The book has short chapters so it’s easier to retain the information. Everything is explained in a simple easy to understand way.

  • So Easy to Understand!
This is now becoming gospel in my family. In the past, trying to get my kids to understand the value of money and urging them to develop the proper habits was incredibly frustrating. I did not know how to present these concepts in a simple, relatable way and my kids just zoned out most of the time. After reading this book and seeing how the author laid out the information in such an intuitive way, I made it a goal to read through it with my kids each night. I was surprised at how they were genuinely engaged and asked really great questions! This simple yet thoughtful book has really captured my kids' attention and as a family, we now have a set of guidelines that we apply to our everyday lives. I'm a little ashamed to admit, but adults can benefit from this book too. If your upbringing was anything like mine where mom and dad generally did not teach you anything about how to handle money other than to tell you to save, this book is for you! Spare your kids a future of financial ignorance and let them see money for what it is so they can make it work for them instead of the other way around! ... show more

  • Great for kids
My 9 y/o and I are still reading the book! It has new terms easily explained. My son has been asking questions and understanding finances and it just feel great to know he now has some knowledge about money

  • AN INTERESTING BOOK DIRECTED AT CHILDREN.
First, the book probably should be updated, revised to bring it up to date as far as interest rates charged by lenders or interest rates earned by depositors, and so forth. Still, this does not take away from the book; it is a good book to read though I'd combine it with the author's "Finance 102 for Kids" and with "INVESTING for kids" (by Dylin Redling). The example dealing with interest earned on pages 20 and 21 could be made clearer by stating that the interest earned is SIMPLE INTEREST! The example does not take into account compound interest ("interest on interest") and this may confuse some readers. Still, not a huge issue; example should simply state that it is "simple interest"! The book makes comment that the "payee" (recipient) of a bounced check is liable for a penalty along with the "maker" of the check! This is great information; I was totally unaware of this; many thanks to the author for including this in the book. Also, a technically more appropriate term for what one achieves in bankruptcy is that the debts are DISCHARGED. The "Stock Market" section of the book, pages 71-74 should make it clear that the "shares" in "Cupcake Avenue" acquired by the two "investors" ("Ben" and "Olivia"!) are really a partnership interest rather than ownership of "stock" ("stock" in the context of shares in a publicly traded company!). I would buy this book along with "Finance 102 for Kids" and with "INVESTING for kids" by Dylin Redling ... show more

  • Fantastic introduction to Personal Finance for older kids
This book explains basic and intermediate concepts of personal finance, economics, and good money management habits in a way that is relatable to kids. My seven year old son was really able to understand and graphs the concepts, and really enjoyed the characters and the examples in the book.
