Raising Financially Confident Kids Description
It's natural to want your kids to have a secure future. But when it comes to teaching the next generation how to handle money, parents are failing. Still there is hope! Financial expert Mary Hunt shows parents how to raise kids who have a healthy relationship with money--even if the parents themselves have made financial mistakes along the way or are struggling financially right now.
Drawing from solid statistics and her own hard-won knowledge and experience, Hunt helps parents protect their children from the financial pitfalls of easy credit, an attitude of entitlement, and our culture's chummy relationship with debt. From preschool through the teen years, every stage of a child's development is covered, including how to talk to them about money, how to help them start saving money and giving it away, and how to manage money wisely.

RAISING FINANCIALLY CONFIDENT KIDS is a book that all parents need to read - from start to finish - whether they are wise money managers or not. Children are growing up bombarded with commercials that credit cards can buy happiness--whatever you want. You can have it now. They don't tell you that you'll be paying hundred or thousands of dollars interest on your credit card debt if you don't pay it in full every month.
One of the most important lessons you can teach your child is basic financial skills. And for those who have credit card debt and student loan debt, they can involve their children in the paying down the debt, showing them how much interest they're paying...
Ms. Hunt shows us how she went from being a mom on the brink of financial ruin to someone who is now a money management expert. Whether your children are preschoolers or teens, this book has guidelines to help you teach them.
I was raised with a financially savvy mom and most of the things mentioned in this book is common sense. I'm trying to encourage my college age sons that they don't need credit cards, save their financial aid for needed items, don't spend it all in one place just in case they have car bills, etc. and I'm trying to teach my younger daughters that if we don't have the cash money for it we don't buy it.
If you are wanting your children to learn to manage money wisely, (and learn along with them) you will want to read RAISING FINANCIALLY CONFIDENT KIDS. Highly recommended.

This really was a great book on how to teach your kids financial responsibility. Mary Hunt not only tells you what you should do and why, but she gives great practical examples of the how. Something I greatly appreciate. From ideas and tips on how to prepare your kids to be consumers, to games and lessons to teach - even divided by age groups, this book will be something I pick up again and again.
I really appreciate how open and honest the author is about her story and what they did with their children. It is a great plan, and while it might not work for everyone, it is definitely something to think about. I think her 'salary' plan will be implemented in our household very soon!
As a parent, you are so busy with all you are trying to impart to your children and money isn't something you think about teaching them until they are older. This book was an eye opener to why our kids need to learn sooner rather than later.
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes. The opinions expressed are all mine and I was not required to give a positive review
