Educational and Fun!

"Play The Real-Life Money Game with Your Teen" is a very insightful and educational book. As both a parent and a working professional I enjoyed this book because it provides great financial information not only for teenagers but also adults. I highly recommend this book as an important tool to develop life-essential skill sets for the young and the experienced. This book is easy to understand and organized clearly to teach the basics of money management. It's a must read for teens and for parents!

A great resource for teens and a great reminder for adults!

A friend told me about this book and I'm so glad she did. Experience counts in this informative resource; I appreciate that the author is both a professional but also a "real-life" mom! As I work through the book with my sons, it also serves as a refresher for me of solid money management principles and healthy fiscal habits. Yet another life skill I want my sons to have before they are out on their own.

A great book to get your teens on track financially!

This book was a treat to read, in that it answers so many of my questions and concerns about how to teach my kids financial planning and responsibility and how to teach them to understand the value of money. I feel like I have a plan now and know how to go forward. All I had before was a general sense of knowing this topic is important and that it is my job to teach my kids this because no one else will. The author affirms these feelings, then sets out to teach me how to help my kids to become responsible money managers. This is such an important topic and the author presents it in a very readable, practical, and understanding manner. She makes it all seem doable!

Fun, fun, fun!

I would have never believed that talking to your kids about money could really be fun. But this book really does make it simple and entertaining. We thought it was easy to use although when we first received it it seemed a little daunting. It was well worth the effort and we really did have fun and learned a lot.

Play the Real-Life Money Game with your teen

As I delved further and further into this book I began to wish I could turn the calendar back on my three children, now 20 somethings, and put this into practice. There are definitely skills to be learned from this book that any age person who is interested in getting a handle on their money and learning how to manage it can utilize. The worksheets are useful, the explanations are clear and I suspect that parents who put this into practice with their teens will learn right along with them. The rewards for all involved will be lifelong. The book is sturdy enough to handle lots of thumbing through and to survive trips to the copy center to duplicate the worksheets. The index is a big plus and the highlighted boxes in the text summarizing major points help reinforce the learning. I would recommend to any parent to put this game into practice!
