This combination
parenting and personal finance book helps parents teach their children key
money skills–such as saving, spending, budgeting, investing, building credit,
and donating–that they’ll need to become financially secure adults.
In this updated
edition of Raising Financially Fit Kids, Joline Godfrey shares knowledge
gleaned from two decades of preparing children and families for financial
independence and stewardship, philanthropic effectiveness, and meaningful
economic lives. At the heart of the book are three big ideas:
• Financial
education is not just about the money; it’s
about building
great families and raising self-confident kids who have the tools to realize
their dreams.
• Financial
sustainability means living within one’s means and acquiring skills to create
and manage human and financial capital.
• Giving wisely is
a global citizen’s responsibility.
Designed for
parents, grandparents, mentors, advisors, and educators, Raising Financially
Fit Kids uses ten core money skills applied across five developmental life
stages: children, tweens, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and
twenty-somethings. Each stage includes age-appropriate activities that make
financial fitness fun, from mall scavenger hunts to financial film festivals.
In this global economic landscape, we all need
financial fluency. Whether your child is five, fifteen, or twenty-five years
old, it’s never too late to teach financial literacy. Raising Financially Fit
Kids prepares your children for the complexities of living in a global economy
and helps your family up your game from good to great.
