Finance is difficult for adults so how can we teach our children about how to handle money wisely? Smart Money Smart Kids is a book that recently came out to help parents with this subject.  Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business. His four New York Times best-selling books:Financial Peace, More Than Enough, The Total Money Makeover and EntreLeadership – have sold more than 7 million copies combined. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 6 million listeners each week on more than 500 radio stations.  Dave teamed up with his daughter, Rachel Cruze, to offer a parent and adult child’s perspective on raising money-smart kids in a debt-filled world. Published by Lampo Press and distributed by Nelson Books, Smart Money Smart Kids (ISBN: 978-1-9370-7763-1) is available April 22, 2014 and retails for $24.99.
“I was born the year my parents filed bankruptcy, so I grew up watching them learn the right way to handle money,†Cruze said. “My dad has helped millions of people get control of their money. But my parents were even more diligent about teaching their three kids how to avoid the mistakes they had made with money. By sharing from our own experiences we’re helping parents change their family’s financial future for generations to come.â€
Smart Money Smart Kids includes practical steps parents can take to teach their kids about money basics like working, spending, saving and giving, as well as how to deal with bigger challenges like avoiding debt, paying for college, and battling discontentment. Ramsey and Cruze include no-nonsense, common sense tips for parents of kids from toddler to young adult.
