Money Matters Workbook for Teens (Ages 11-14)

by Larry Burkett

Book Overview

"Why learn to manage my money? I'm just a teenager; I don't have much of it anyway."

Sounds reasonable, but it's not.

Think about this: The average American teenager spends $3,000 per year. At the end of high school, that means you'll have spent $21,000. Do you know where you're spending it?

While $3,000 per year is most likely a lot less than your parents spend, you should still be able to:

Very Helpful

This workbook was very helpful with homeschooling. My daughter enjoyed it and learned some helpful things. I would recommend this.

Great resource for teens!

I was familiar with Larry Burkett's work before we ordered this book so I trusted that it would be a good resource. I was not prepared for how thorough it is. I homeschool my high school daughter and we are using it as a study guide to prepare her for real life. It's been great to see her learning skills for life along with the biblical principles of spending.

Money Matters Gets a 5 Star Rating......

Good tool for teaching both Christian & Non Christian Teens about money. Easy to understand, includes examples and step by step instructions. We used this for a Money Matters Workshop and our teens thought it was great.

Presents excellent advice in a format that appeals to teens.

What a user-friendly book! Easy-to-read print, lots of cartoon-style illustrations, short chapters, easy-to-follow activities in each chapter - all that and excellent information, too! Just the thing for my 16-year-old. When I saw this book I knew it would be a hit, but I didn't know just how big a hit. My kids choose their favorite subjects to work on first each day, and this book has become number one. But, does it work? I'll say it does. Chapter 5, "Money Management Made Easy," introduces Larry Burkett's envelope system for managing money. As soon as my son read this, he gathered his envelopes and he's been using the system faithfully ever since. If that was all he got out of this book it would be worth the price. But he is also learning how banks and checking accounts work, how loans and credit cards work, the dangers of borrowing, how to buy a car, and even how to get and keep a job. Larry Burkett's money management principles are very scripturally sound. Although we have tried to raise our children by demonstrating and teaching sound principles, sometimes hearing from an "expert" can be just what it takes to convince them to do what they should do because it's the right thing to do, not just because Mom and Dad say so. I think that is what the bottom line will be with this great book. I am very happy with it and recommend it highly. ~sbd
