Rich Kids Made Simple - The...

Joe Correa

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.
