You asked for a book like this since this information is rarely taught in schools, and many parents are working and don't have time to explain this to their children. According to Brett Nelson's recent article in Forbes, Financial Illiteracy is Killing Our Kids. Our education system is the source of this problem. Our population needs to be financially literate in order to compete in the global economy in the future, and we are failing our kids. Three-quarters of high school seniors failed a financial literacy test given by Jump$tart Coalition in 2008, and only 5% earned better than a "C". 5 percent! But there is hope and this book is designed to provide parents of teenaged children recommendations. I recommend that parents purchase this book, and review it together with your children to ensure they understand everything that is critically important to start a life without financial worries. Share your experiences in financial matters, and help them learn how these fundamental principles can help them succeed in life, avoid financial stress, and achieve their life goals. Dedicated to our childrenMichael FisherTo my son, age 16, who started his first paid job this summer. This situation inspired me. It presented me with the opportunity to provide fatherly advice to my children. I hope you, and Amanda find something you are really passionate about. It really is about the journey and not just the destination. Enjoy the trip!Amanda FisherTo my daughter, age 19, a fire-fighter, EMT, ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer, and soon will be a Paramedic. You are not happy unless you're running 100 mph, and helping people, my hero!This information is not taught in most schools, and I would like you, your family, and friends to benefit from money management principles. Avoid making costly mistakes. Earn big bucks, save, and hopefully with careful planning you can become financial independent and enjoy a relaxing retirement!
