Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Bodnar, senior editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine (Dr. Tightwad to readers of her syndicated column) has put together a snappy companion to her more extensive Kiplinger's Money-Smart Kids (And Parents, Too). In this quick-reference guide, strictly for parents, she calls up 100 questions that kids ages 5 to 16 frequently ask their folks. Touching on everything from picking a stock and revealing family income to answering the familiar "Can I have . . . ?" question, Dr. Tightwad contributes sensible counsel to help parents remain firmly in control of both the situation and the family budget. The answers are brief and the tone sometimes glib, but there is lots of good sense along with the pungent humor: "How much will you give me if I make my bed everyday?" "My love and respect." A handy resource for parents who want to be well armed when their children take an interest in money matters and a useful guidebook to help them teach their kids a few money-management skills.

Excellent Reference For Parents!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mom, Can I Have That? (Paperback)
Easy to read text. Responses to kids' questions run the gamut from quick zingers to thoughtful and thought provoking. My kids have almost stopped asking, "Mom, can I have....?"
