Personal Finance Strategies for Raising Kids

Simple Strategies to Teach Kids Vital Money Skills

By: Andy LaPointe

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

My name is Andy LaPointe and welcome to Personal Finance Strategies for Raising Kids

This step-by-step book is a result of my 15 years in the financial industry as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Series 7 stockbroker and mutual fund wholesaler. In addition, this book is also Kid Approved.

This means teenagers, my daughter Alena along with several of her teenage friends, reviewed all of the information in this book and approved it as the most vital personal finance skills kids need to learn.

You see, during my years as a Registered Investment Advisor and mutual fund wholesaler, I have conducted hundreds of seminars and workshops on teaching kids about personal finance and worked with countless families on teaching their kids vital personal finance skills. I have included the best information from my workshops and seminars this book.
When you really think about it, isn’t that what you want for your children, too? The ability to understand money skills and be able to take care of their own money themselves?

But unfortunately, in today’s world, many kids grow up, attend school and graduate high school without a basic understanding of personal finance. A recent study conducted by ING, a major financial company, indicated that 87% of teens want to learn about personal finance skills, but they don’t know where to start. There is no requirement to take any sort of personal finance or money class to graduate from high school. That is very sad. ☹

As your child gets older, money skills will be used almost every day for their entire life. So having learned personal finance while they are young is vital to lifelong success.

This comprehensive book is age-appropriate and teaches money skills for all ages starting from age 3 through 18 will most of the focus on the middle to older ages.

But as you know being a parent doesn’t stop their 18, I’ve also included a special section that teaches vital money goals children should achieve while in their 20’s so they continue to enter adulthood with a solid financial foundation.
This book is part of my Personal Finance Strategies series on the most important aspects of life including:

• Personal Finance Strategies for Retirement
• Personal Finance Strategies for Raising Kids
• Personal Finance Strategies for Investing
• Personal Finance Strategies for Owning Real Estate

I wrote each book in this series to focus on the most important personal finance strategies for each category above. The reason I wrote this series is it allows you to decide which strategies you would like to learn more about in your life.
This book is written in an informative format. This means I have included the most important topics and, when appropriate, worksheets for you to complete, too. The format allows the reader to learn and then implement the strategies immediately.

Let’s get started on personal finance strategies for raising kids.

Sincerely,
