Description

Piggy Banks to Paychecks tackles the subject of money head-on in an easy-to-understand, friendly format. If you are a parent, grandparent, or teacher, or are otherwise involved in helping kids learn financial basics, this book is for you. In its pages, you'll find straightforward answers on saving, spending wisely, investing, and donating. You will find help in setting up an allowance plan for kids along with various methods of tracking savings and evaluating purchases. You will learn the language of money and be able to set your children on the path to fiscal responsibility.

It doesn't matter how old your children are or how difficult your financial situation is. It doesn't matter where you start to teach your kids about money. It doesn't matter what kind of allowance system you choose to set up with your kids. It only matters that you get started-right now-with the tools you have to work with and the knowledge you already have.

"Angie Mohr packs a lot of information into her pages, taking sophisticated financial concepts and turning them into ideas that parents and kids can understand and use. This will be a valuable resource for many families."
- Ellen Roseman, personal finance columnist, Toronto Star and Moneyville.ca

"The confidence to make good financial decisions throughout life can begin at home. That's why this book is important to you and your family." Evelyn Jacks, President, Knowledge Bureau and bestselling author of Essential Tax Facts.
