Life changing!

I highly recommend this book if you are looking to help your kids understand money at an early age. It took me 40 years to understand money and I want to raise my kids differently. We started the 3 envelope system in my house this week and I have never seen my kids be this hard working and want to give so much. Thanks Rachel and Dave!

A MUST HAVE for every parent, no matter their age

I learned so much from this book. I was not raised to be money smart and I refuse to neglect these financial principles when educating my kids on their financial independence.

Essential Parenting Advice

If you could sum up Smart Money Smart Kids in three words, what would they be?

Financial advice for parents.

What other book might you compare Smart Money Smart Kids to and why?

Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace

What does Rachel Cruze and Dave Ramsey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The opportunity to hear Dave and Rachel deliver advice in their own cadence. The ability to hear the narrators passion on the content.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Dave's final chapter "I was that Dad..." - It's as if he's speaking directly to you, empowering you to take control of your family tree, and ultimately change your legacy.

Any additional comments?

Very good overall. Simple concepts to implement with your children. Having already begun discussing the ideas with my kids, I can say the results are immediate - and surprising.

Sound principles and geat teaching tools

We are parents and have had some missteps. This book had helped illustrate true conservative principles for hard work, wealth building and how to teach the next generation that living in your means is right, desirable and can give peace of mind.

It was worth the $.4.95 I paid

I liked the fact Rachel seems to be able to articulate what he dad has taught her.

Much of what was said the the books is very similar to what Dave has said for years.

Doing this with Rachel adds a new spin to it.

Great investment!

Go for it.
It was inspiring and I've applied many of their advises.
Though, Several ideas are nor applicable cause we don't live in the US.

The performance of Dave is amazing and will easily grab your attention.
