Book Synopsis



Prepare Your Child to Earn, Save, and Spend Wisely
- A fun, game-like approach to start children on a path to solid values and healthy habits surrounding money
- Proven, research-based practice for establishing a household mini-economy
- Makes financial education engaging and effective

Some of the toughest choices we make in adult life are about money, and so often we feel uninformed, unsure, and ill-prepared. We want better for our kids, but how do we teach them the things we never quite learned?

Teach a Kid to Save is your go-to, hands-on, research-based guide to teaching your kids about the wise use of money and the value of work through an innovative, interactive mini-economy. In the mini-economy, kids have jobs, earn a play-money income, make a plan for their money, shop at the household store, and even create their own businesses. The mini-economy gives kids a chance to practice making meaningful choices about money and work, helping them build healthy lifelong habits.

With chapters on work, rest, generosity, saving, spending, and entrepreneurship, as well as a quick-start guide, templates, visual aids, conversation starters, and a special appendix for homeschools, Teach a Kid to Save is the all-in-one resource you've been waiting for.
