Found this interesting
This book deals with individual financial topics, like using credit, saving, IRAs, etc, and addresses how to introduce them to kids step by step, based on their age and level of understanding. I found this approach interesting and found the age-appropriate insights helpful. I wish I'd seen this when my child was young, but the suggestions for older kids/ young adults are good, too.

A smart investment for parents and their children
This is a solid effort that illustrates how to educate one's children in the ways of money. The author covers specific topics in each chapter and, within each chapter, breaks it down into age ranges. For example, in chapter 3--Hard Work Pays--she discusses how research has established that "hard work, achieving personal goals, and enjoying the satisfaction that comes with the effort" are the key to a happy life and that pampering kids and not making them do anything will be detrimental to their development. Later in the chapter, she has sections on preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, college and young adulthood. This enables the parent of a child of such-and-such an age to quickly find out how to talk to that child in an understandable way.Although the book is easy to read and understand and the author can be amusing at times, I found it best to read the book in stages. If you have children in middle school, you might be interested in--but not very enthused about--reading sections on preschool, high school, college, etc. You want the information, but not all in one big gulp.Kobliner covers everything from saving and having no debt to insurance and investing to saving/paying for college and volunteering at charities. Good book.

Get this book
I loved this book. It was easy to read not boring at all. I wouldnt suggest reading it all at once since there is so much information. I cant wait to put what i read to use. I had a book report in one of my classes and there are several aspects are great. 1 being how knowledgeable beth is. (I would research her. And check out the financial sites shes involved with) it really gives great ideas on how to talk to your kids about money even at young ages. I could go into detail but really this book is for you. Or a unique gift idea for a baby shower.

A good starting point…
There were many great points in this book… some things I’ll be doing immediately (using more cash especially with my kids is one). I also appreciated the layout… things to do at different stages of life. And the advice for talking to kids about paying for college was extremely helpful. But… (full disclosure I help people with insurance and retirement for a living) all too often the book presented advice as iron clad (only buy term life insurance, always invest in exchange funds, avoid fees etc.) when in reality there are situations where other options may fit a need. I wouldn’t say the advice is wrong for a majority of folks, but acknowledging when it could be wrong is important. Permanent Life insurance is important if your spouses income ends when they pass during retirement and could leave you broke. Paying an advisor fees for investing help is important when you need someone to reassure you about the markets and prevent you from withdrawing when the markets are down. There are other examples too… I’d recommend this book as a good place to start, then I’d recommend involving kids in conversations about how to find people they can trust to help them with insurance, investing, and banking.

Gave some good insight
Coming from another country and not knowing anything about the system— this book is very useful for kids or parents. Got some useful ideas for myself and approached the suggestions in the book which were appreoved by my kids. Highly recommend this book probably for beginners or intermediate people who are on their way to learn finance regardless the cause.
