How does it work?

My Kids' Money is a book that guides the parent through the conversation and processes necessary to equip their children with a solid foundation in basic money management concepts. The book, worksheets and other tools provide the framework, the parents provide the values and time.

A Little Bit of Publicity

Is it really August?!  There may be four weeks or so before the kids return to school, but it feels like the end of the year is right around the corner.  I keep asking myself where the Summer went, and it clearly did not go in to My Kids' Money, with one notable exception.  I did my first interview!  Granted, it was for an internal publication at one of the life insurance carriers I do business with, but still, its an interview!  Want to check out the article that resulted?  Click this link:

It was pretty fun actually, and I am looking forward to my next opportunity like this.  Aside from the interview and article the Summer has been pretty quiet for My Kids' Money, with a ton of energy spent on launching another business.  There is, however, one little promise I need to keep in the last weeks of Summer - establishing a real bank account for my daughter.  That's right, time to hit the real world and see if the skills we have been building translate.  It is also a sad day for Miranda, because the savings account at the Parent's Bank paid an astounding 5% per month (you will need to wait for the book to learn why we pay that much, and there is a reason!).  I think the excitement of the real account will dull the pain a bit, as she will have yet another great experience of growing up in a Summer that was full of similar experiences. 

Off to pay some allowance and take care of the rest of the banking day ritual!
