  • Incredible....but.
My wife and I have been reading this book together and implementing it with our kids. We have really seen some great results with our kids. The ONLY thing that I don't like, however, is that in order to get access to all their "Secret Code" words and stories, you then have to go to their website and spend an additional $50 on a membership. If they didn't charge for that, I'd have given this 5 stars, but I was REALLY bugged by that. I debated giving it 3 stars for that alone. ... show more

  • Old Fashioned
Great book, but reads as a family raising kids on a farm. It does not address how to better prepare children in a modern world where sex is learned over a cellphone, and ridiculous financial gain is made by eating tide pods.

  • the Family Economy
The authors make practical teaching money management to kids of all ages, mainly ages 5 through 18. It's not too late for most parents. ... and the system unifies kids and parents, strengthening relationships through working together managing the family economy. Nice idea to have weekly family meetings. Great experience from family trips to Africa, Mexico, Guatemala to help build a school, and help build a system to bring water from a stream to a town square. Glad to read this in support of grand-kiddos and their parents. THANKS to authors Richard and Linda Eyre ... show more

  • Entitlement--problem of our children's generation!
If you want your children to not become entitled, this is the book for you! I love the idea of the money system that is described in this book and we initiated it almost immediately! Our kids are learning about earning money for their hard work and that Mom and Dad will not be buying everything that they need and want anymore. ... show more

  • Timely and proven
Just finished it and really appreciated their perspective and insights. Already changed our chore chart (we decided to write all the chores to be done in the house - about 80 - on colored tongue depressors and put in a jar and she chooses 2 or 3 each day) she loves the variety and I love she gets to learn each chore in the house. Also, helped how to do "allowance vs. money for chores" which was our big dilemma. I love this new way of getting her all the money she needs for clothes, songs, movies, activites, etc. through this system so she has to manage her own money. My daughter is 14 and has already learned several lessons about budgeting through some mistakes (small ones:) and I feel so much better knowing she is learning this now instead of in college where the money mistakes would be bigger... Thanks, Eyres for another great, applicable, positive book ... show more

  • Framework for building a happy family!
Wonderful book. It gives you a framework to adapt and make your own, and yet you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. This is a tried and true system. Lots of wonderful ideas. I was halfway through the book and already implementing some stuff. My family has responded wonderfully and I love seeing the positive changes my kids (and I!) are making. ... show more
