Joline Godfrey,Kit Hinrichs
Is your child a spendthrift? A hoarder? Or maybe, downright oblivious? Are there family money dramas you can do without? In RAISING FINANCIALLY FIT KIDS, Joline Godfrey, one of the countryâ€™s leading experts on kids, parents, and money, gives parents the secrets and knowledge she has gleaned from a decade of working with kids on financial literacy and business. At the heart of the book lies a defined set of values:Money is a tool for achieving and maintaining independence. Saving is good; accumulation for its own sake is not. Spending is best done wisely and within oneâ€™s means (though a bold purchase or investment may also be an act of wisdom). Greed is not good. Giving generously is part of oneâ€™s responsibility to the human family; shepherding wealth is an act of respectâ€”to the past and the future. Money is an energy (not a commodity) that can be used for evil or for good.Designed for adultsâ€”parents, grandparents, mentors, advisors, and educatorsâ€”concerned about raising children ages 5 to 18, RAISING FINANCIALLY FIT KIDS is centered around a developmental map covering ten specific money skills each child can master by the age of 18 to become a financially secure adult. This map gives parents a step-by-step approach to helping their kids become habitual savers, smart money mangers, and responsible decision makers. More than just a money book, RAISING FINANCIALLY FIT KIDS will help parents send their children into the world as balanced, financially stable individuals and contributing members of both their family and community.
