Tossing our youth out into the world with no real financial education on how to manage and master money can lead to financial difficulties when they become adults. The financial knowledge kids learn early will help them become financially independent and will equip them with a skill that is key to making their dreams a reality.“How To Speak Money” makes learning finance simple using fun rhymes and entertaining illustrations to make difficult concepts easy to understand. It introduces children to money basics - how to invest money, starting their own business, the importance of budgeting and creating savings. This book is a fascinating introduction and journey to get young readers on the right path to making smart personal financial decisions.
