The Piggy Banker Jackie McCarthy

A Money Journal for kids to keep track of their spending and saving habits, along with easy-to-understand financial tips - from the creator of the financial literacy website https: //RaiseCreativeInvestors.com. Do your kids get an allowance at home or make money at a part-time job? Do you find they spend their money too quickly without giving much thought to what they're buying? It's never too early for children to start learning good money habits. "The Piggy Banker" will teach kids from 7 to 17 to keep track and become more aware of the money they earn, save, and spend through 52 weeks of easy to fill-out money journal worksheets. It also provides financial tips such as: ways to increase income, how to decide which purchases are wants vs. needs, and encourages the life-long habits of saving, investing and thoughtful spending. Parents can work through this journal with younger children, while older teens can use it on their own. The earlier children learn how to keep track of their money and how to make financially sound decisions, the better they will be at it when they are older.
