good for all ages.
I bought this for my grandkids but my 65 year old wife read it and said she learned a lot. If you haven't been involved in finance all your life you should read this book.

So Easy to Understand!
This is now becoming gospel in my family. In the past, trying to get my kids to understand the value of money and urging them to develop the proper habits was incredibly frustrating. I did not know how to present these concepts in a simple, relatable way and my kids just zoned out most of the time. After reading this book and seeing how the author laid out the information in such an intuitive way, I made it a goal to read through it with my kids each night. I was surprised at how they were genuinely engaged and asked really great questions! This simple yet thoughtful book has really captured my kids' attention and as a family, we now have a set of guidelines that we apply to our everyday lives. I'm a little ashamed to admit, but adults can benefit from this book too. If your upbringing was anything like mine where mom and dad generally did not teach you anything about how to handle money other than to tell you to save, this book is for you! Spare your kids a future of financial ignorance and let them see money for what it is so they can make it work for them instead of the other way around!

Important topic for young learners!
I bought this book to begin teaching financial concepts to younger family members. One big issue in this great country is that kids are growing up without ever learning about economics and financial discipline. Credit card debt is hampering their ability to get ahead and this book really does a great job of introducing key concepts such as saving, investing, and living within one’s means. I would highly recommend this be read to kids as young as seven and reviewed annually until they learn it. To help, I would also recommend opening a savings account for the youngster and allowing them to invest their money via acorns or similar app. Great job by the author on creating this book!
