You'll notice that this section is focused on teaching your kids about money. Our country is full of people who have no idea about money or money management. Since the public school system refuses to teach our kids how to be fiscally responsible it is my goal to make sure as many kids as possible learn the skill of money management, so our kids don't end up in over there head with debt like so many of our fellow country men and women are today.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

This is also a great book for teens and adults. - Shaun

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate Rich dad poor dadinfluences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed. --Howard Rothman

Kids Can Make Money Too! : How Young People Can Succeed Financially--Over 200 Ways to Earn Money and How to Make it Grow

Liz Manning/Palo Alto Times Tribune
"Never overdraw your bank account." These words of wisdom are used at least four times in the first chapter of "Kids Can Make Money Kids can make money tooToo!" by Vada Lee Jones. It is a practical book, but it's not just about making money. It cautions young people to avoid the pitfalls we adults may have already experienced. The book is a major breakthrough for parents...bits of advice on how to have fun without spending money. It's hard to believe someone is writing the same advice we say to our own children.

The chapter "Services" lists 78 ways children (and parents if they want to be included) can earn money. A chapter on selling includes more than 60 items to sell and how to get started.

And by the time you finish the book, you know how to keep records, the dangers of credit cards, how to learn about income tax and many other things we all think our children can pick up by osmosis rather than a face-to-face or face-in-book lesson.

 

Larry Burkett's Money Planner for Kids (Larry Burkett's Pocket Change Series)

You can learn about contentment in the following ways:


Think About It:
Before you go shopping for something you need (or want), plan how much money to spend and what things you'll be looking for (size, price, special features, color, etc.). In the store, take enough time to find the items that match what you had set out to find. Think Pocket Changeabout how and why some options won't work and some will.

Talk About It:
Next time you go shopping, listen for things said by other shoppers that indicate they're trying to shop by a list or that they want to spend only a certain amount of money. Also notice when other people are saying things that indicate they're content or discontent with what is being purchased.

Try It:
Decide on a set amount of money to spend for your friend's birthday or Christmas present, think about the kinds of things the person likes that could be purchased for that amount of money, then head to a discount shopping store. Look at several different gift options and select an item or items that will fit within the budget.
