Don Silver. Adams-Hall Publishing. Los Angeles, CA. 2007.
Ever wonder how why some kids seem astute with money and others are still paying for the last two things they bought? For that matter, how do so many of us get to adulthood and still feel like slaves to our lifestyles instead of the other way around?
You’ve got to pick up Don Silver’s High School Money Book. It is a practical guide to a broad array of money issues. It is written is short, pithy sections that are easy to digest and perfect for the young adults in our lives whose attention spans are often shorter than a television commercial.
My favorite sections are the ones on credit and investments. The value of money over time can work powerfully for us or against us whether we’re saving or borrowing. Don spells it out in a clear, straightforward style.
I was fortunate to have parents who equipped me to function in this money-based society of ours. Not all are so fortunate. Give your kids (or even yourself) the gift of financial fluency.
