Book Review
Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: 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... |

Grade 5-8-Joining a crowded field, this cheerful treatment of personal finance will hold its own despite some cutesy, cartoonlike color illustrations. After a brief history of money, McGillian covers the usual topics-budgeting, earning, spending, saving, etc.-with effective ideas for resisting consumerism. Oddly, an afterword on the adoption of the euro is included. The writing is clear and lively; even the good advice is less schoolmarmish than usual. Books on this topic abound; the best one is still Neale S. Godfrey's Ultimate Kids' Money Book (S & S, 1998), which has better illustrations.

The Totally Awesome Money Book For Kids |

From Kirkus Reviews
A lawyer/radio host and her son collaborate on an overview of investment and money management principles--budgeting, saving, different types of investment, credit and debt, taxes, goals (including socially responsible decisions and college), and more. In the introduction, Berg credits Bochner, 11, with the choice of topics and most of the writing--and, in fact, the tone is thoroughly (if not quite consistently) kid-like. The principle here is that if the basics of money are learned young they become commonplace and nonthreatening. Terms are defined; various approaches to domestic and international investment are discussed and illustrated with entertaining board games. The book works well, despite some uneveness and minor glitches, e.g., a table showing how $1000 will grow at various interest rates doesn't establish... |

Almost all books on estate planning explain how to maximize inheritance, minimize taxes, avoid probate, set up trusts, etc. The Condons, father and son lawyers, do this, too, but what they also do is consider the psychological and emotional aspects of leaving and inheriting money. Presenting more scenarios than a season full of made-for-television movies, the Condons cover such possibilities as "protecting" the inheritance from one's child's spouse, preventing squabbles over inherited property, selecting trustees or guardians, avoiding disputes between second spouses and children of one's first marriage, leaving money for pets, etc. With good sense, humor, and authority, the authors provide a thorough look at inheritance planning with an eye toward maintaining good, stable family relations well after the estate has been... |

Even if they don't agree on anything else, most parents will concede that financial responsibility is a vital part of every child's education. Former stockbroker Willard Stawski II, father of five and president of a company that produces fiscal-literacy tools for youngsters, believes such behavior ultimately stems from the way a family sets priorities and communicates lessons regarding them. He also contends financial literacy is a key component in everything from enhanced self-esteem to successful interpersonal relationships. In Kids, Parents & Money, Stawski outlines a step-by-step program that can be used to teach proper earning, saving, and spending habits and tie them all together. Starting with development of a team mission statement and financial plan, he addresses age-appropriate goals and conduct--"From about age four,... |

Grade 4-8-A clear explanation of the theory behind investing and compound interest. Related terms are introduced and defined throughout the volume and anecdotes citing companies familiar to children (e.g., Kellogg's, IBM, Coca-Cola) often illustrate principles. One chapter is devoted to deciphering a financial page in a newspaper. Sample forms illustrate how to record income, withdrawals, and savings, and quizzes measure knowledge and risk tolerance. Black-and-white cartoons and several charts accompany the text. This useful how-to book is the next step for readers of Neale S. Godfrey's Ultimate Kid's Money Book (S & S, 1998) and Betsy Maestro's The Story of Money (Clarion, 1993).
