We all live in a world today of plastic and virtual money. Are we teaching our kids the best examples of financial management through our own actions?Anita guides the reader through a simple 4 step process of the fundamental principles of money, adds a special section for teenagers and to be honest, us adults can learn a thing or two from this also for ourselves.I like that she's included a chapter about her personal experience of putting her ideas into practice with her daughter, we can always learn from other people's experiences. She has good ideas for teaching children about money through setting up an allowance budget, putting different percentages of the child's allowance to specific purposes.I particularly liked this statement: "The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent so that on one will be at war, in sickness and lonely again. In other words, grow up, stop being a crybaby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone not a wishbone."
