How to afford kids—and teach them about money We all
want to raise smart children. But somewhere between the
reading, writing, and arithmetic, one of life's most
important lessons is too often overlooked: personal
finances. As adults, we interact with money every day,
whether by saving, investing, spending, or giving it, but we
often forget that kids also face these same decisions—from
their own unique perspective—as they mature. How do we teach
today what kids really need to know tomorrow to thrive as
financially savvy adults? In Piggybanking, veteran
Wall Street Journal personal-finance writer Jeff D.
Opdyke provides a clear and effective plan to help parents
raise children to be comfortable and confident managing the
daily finances of life.
But even before kids arrive, parents face a rash of
financial decisions. Accordingly, Piggybanking also
deals with the essential problems every struggling young
family must face, including how to prepare your budget for a
child's arrival, how to choose between single- and
dual-income lifestyles, and how to plan for funding a
college education. With Opdyke's valuable advice, and with his 15 Rules
of Kids & Money in hand, parents will be well equipped
to create a sound financial foundation for their family and
a successful financial life for their kids.
