Customer Reviews

Great resource for dealing with the $ issues we SHOULD have dealt with before!

A very easy read - with information divided into easily digestible (and logical) sections. Question and answer sections, forms to use, and "real world" examples abound and are extremely helpful, and easily "reworked" to pass along to the child/"pre-adult" in your life. The book even delves into difficult issues such as divorced parents, which creates dealing with "mommy versus daddy" (even in older "children"), diffferent parenting styles, etc. Best perhaps if used when your child is high school age - but we found plenty of information still valuable for a college-age child who's not money-savvy at all. Also wonderful the way it never "talks down" to you - but helps you realize some of the errors you've made - and how to solve them. And most positively - that it's never too late to try to help your kid learn about financial matters!

I gave this book to my daughter and her husand and my son-in-law read it that day. It will assist her parents' financial conversations with my precocious granddaughter.
