Parents and the school system often leave teens sorely unprepared for the financial realities of their future independent lives, rarely discussing the topic until unfortunate, and costly, mistakes have already been made. Author Patti J. Handy, a Certified Life Coach with a background in banking and real estate, is a mother whose goal is to equip her own son and other children with the money management skills they need to enjoy a secure and prosperous financial life.
What seems at first glance to be a loving message from mother to son about becoming financially responsible is so much more. In money guru Patti J. Handy's inspiring and delightful book,
How to Ditch Your Allowance and Be Richer Than Your Parents! 9 Wealth Building Tools to Make a Teen Rich, she introduces teenagers and young adults to some very important concepts guaranteed to enrich their lives and empower their decisions. With a straightforward and highly readable approach, Handy covers such essential topics as being well-organized, learning spending habits, good versus bad debt, saving strategies, investments and credit scores, and the gift of donations. She also stresses the importance of acknowledging our blessings; friends, family, health and the need to deepen our awareness of God and take responsibility for our actions. Without question, this book is the primer for everyone seeking financial freedom and success.
