Your Kids' Money: How to Earn It, Save It and Set Them Up for Life

Bestselling author Anita Bell purchased her first long-term asset as a 10-year-old using pocket money earned from her backyard business. By 16, she had bought her first block of land! This book – developed from extensive feedback from students, parents and education professionals – shows you how to educate your children to appreciate the value and uses of money. Starting with finances for the unborn, Anita works us through the expenses of pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary education expenses. And yes, the vexatious question of pocket money – how much, when do you start and how to stop paying – are all covered. With tips on balancing part-time work, study and sport, goal setting and career planning, she covers all bases. Intended as a primer for parents and supplement to curriculum materials and including hints on saving and spending, Your Kids' Money will ensure your children enter adulthood financially literate and perhaps even financially independent.
