Book description
Anita Bell explains how to send your kids out into the world
financially literate. Anita purchased her first long-term asset as a
10-year-old using pocket money earned from her backyard business. By 16,
she had bought her first block of land! This book - developed from
extensive feedback from students, parents and education professionals -
shows you how to educate your children to appreciate the value and uses
of money. Starting with finances for the unborn Anita works us through
the expenses of pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary education
expenses. And yes, the vexatious question of pocket money - how much,
when do you start and how to stop paying - are all covered. With tips on
balancing part-time work, study and sport, goal setting and career
planning, she covers all bases. Intended as a primer for parents and
supplement to curriculum materials and including hints on saving and
spending, Your Kids Money will ensure your children enter adulthood
financially literate and perhaps even financially independent. Anita
Bell lives with her husband, two sons and a menagerie of pets and farm
animals in south east Queensland. Having retired from the rat race at
the early age of 26, Anita has spent the last decade with her family and
a multitude of hobbies, including investing, landscaping, oil-painting
and writing. Anita is one of Australia s best-selling finance authors
with Your Mortgage having sold more than half a million copies.
