    This audiobook will teach you the five most powerful money rules in the world that will change your kid's financial world forever. Financial education is not about teaching kids how to get what they want, it is about teaching them how to get what is worth having. What are your kids learning in school? Are they learning about saving, planning, investing, or becoming leaders? Are they learning how to start their own business or how to become good employees? Are they learning how to manage credit or to accumulate credit card debt? Are they learning how to solve their financial problems or simply accumulate debt until they go bankrupt? Are they learning how to save on taxes or to pay as much taxes as possible? 
You should think about what your kids are learning every day, because they will grow up fast and the opportunity to help them to become financially prepared will be gone. 
Own your future. Own your life. Own your money. Most people live their lives with money as their master. Money tells them to go to work. Money makes them get out of bed. Money even makes them lose their hair, gain weight, and stress all day. Should your kids go through the same money problems most adults go through? Should they have to suffer the consequences of a missed education? Why not invest in their future by helping them learn to lead a fulfilling financial life? 
There are things in life you will have to deal with sooner or later and money is one of them. Learning to manage money will have a profound effect on your kid’s future potential. Waiting for them to grow up to teach them what needs to be done financially is too late. Start now if you want to make a real difference in their lives. Who knows, maybe they’ll grow up to become the next billionaire.

    The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster - In a future where human contact is almost eliminated by The Machine, Vashti’s tranquil, isolated life is interrupted by a plea from her son, to experience the world outside the Machine’s influence. As Vashti struggles to understand his desire to see the stars from the Earth’s surface, a profound disconnect between their realities begins to emerge. 
The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster is a dystopian novella that explores a future where humanity lives underground, relying entirely on a vast, all-encompassing Machine that caters to every need. People live in isolation, communicating through video screens and avoiding physical interaction. The story follows Vashti, a lecturer who believes in the Machine’s infallibility, and her son Kuno, who dares to question its authority. Kuno’s rebellious journey to the Earth’s surface reveals a world destroyed by the Machine’s dominance. As he learns the truth, the Machine begins to break down, leading to the collapse of the society it controlled. The novella serves as a powerful critique of technological dependence, dehumanization, and the loss of individuality. Forster’s work, written in 1909, eerily predicts many aspects of modern life, making it a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of technology’s impact on humanity.
