Amazing👍🏽👌🏽👍🏽👈🏽

It's an amazing book that teaches you life lessons my 10 year old daughter even listened to it of course she didn't understand all of it but it's so cute how she try's to understand it👍🏽

Wish I had this information sooner

Great book. Must read for all parents.

Easy listening audio book with Dave and Rachel narrating.

A Key Parents How to Book

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

Foundational, Structure, Principles

What was one of the most memorable moments of Smart Money Smart Kids?

When Rachel describes her college friend getting her first credit card and only planning on using it and paying off the balance every month only to have something come up unexpected and fall into the trap of just putting it on the CC and thus the cycle of debt begins. Hit close to home.

Which scene was your favorite?

This not a book with scenes as say there would be in a fiction novel. So this question may not be appropriate for this book.

But a story that stands out is Rachel shutting down her Facebook account to avoid the feeling of envy when she would see her friend's posts about vacations and recent purchases. I think that's a real problem today and it was enlightening to have someone speak about it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The extreme reaction I had was that I saw many mistake I made with money and credit cards as I began to earn a living. It made me want to make sure to teach my son not to do the same. Valuable stuff!

Any additional comments?

I think this a great book and one every parent should listen to. If I could make a suggestion to Dave Ramsey and his daughter Rachel Cruze, it would be to spend some time talking/writing about how to begin to build wealth in more detail for young people. Introduce and explain Mutual Funds, and other savings options. Give direction on where to find more information and how to begin with little money and how to start small. Take the daunting nature of beginning to invest and make it digestible.

Good material!

I loved the material & book but had trouble with skipped spots in the recording. NOt sure if it was me or the audio but a tad frustrating & a first for me on audible. Would recommend even with that issue.

Great content...tough on the ears though

Legacy Journey

Did Rachel Cruze and Dave Ramsey do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Dave is easy to listen to. Rachel is tough. One of the things that makes for a good audio book is the reader...obviously. They did a great job co-authoring but should have done a test run with an audience before doing this book. A re-record might be good idea for Rachel's part.

High expectations

Overall: It was okay! Not great not bad. if you've never listen to Dave Ramsey's teachings in this book will be better.

I have read many of Dave Ramsey's books. I just became a new parent and was expecting earth shattering information from this book. What I received was the regurgitation of the rest of his books. not that that was bad, It just wasn't all that good. I enjoyed Dave Ramsey's concept of saving money and being debt-free however there was very little new information in this book.and all information was repeated several times to the point it was almost boring. However, there was information that was very helpful it was just few and far between.

Loved it!

This book taught me a lot. I will use these lessons with my own kids!

great life skill a must read/listen

great information a must have for all ages best way to teach kids and parents about money
