"Play The Real-Life Money Game with Your Teen" is a very insightful and educational book. As both a parent and a working professional I enjoyed this book because it provides great financial information not only for teenagers but also adults. I highly recommend this book as an important tool to develop life-essential skill sets for the young and the experienced. This book is easy to understand and organized clearly to teach the basics of money management. It's a must read for teens and for parents!

A friend told me about this book and I'm so glad she did. Experience counts in this informative resource; I appreciate that the author is both a professional but also a "real-life" mom! As I work through the book with my sons, it also serves as a refresher for me of solid money management principles and healthy fiscal habits. Yet another life skill I want my sons to have before they are out on their own.

This review is from: Play The Real-Life Money Game With Your Teen (Paperback)
This book was a treat to read, in that it answers so many of my questions and concerns about how to teach my kids financial planning and responsibility and how to teach them to understand the value of money. I feel like I have a plan now and know how to go forward. All I had before was a general sense of knowing this topic is important and that it is my job to teach my kids this because no one else will. The author affirms these feelings, then sets out to teach me how to help my kids to become responsible money managers. This is such an important topic and the author presents it in a very readable, practical, and understanding manner. She makes it all seem doable!
