The Art of Allowance: A Short, Practical Guide to Raising Money-Smart, Money-Empowered Kids

"This is an unusual book which in addition to the usual nostrums offered by books on money and finance is an honest and vivid diary of one family’s successful efforts to bring financial literacy to their two daughters. In the process of ministering allowances to them the parents explore the meaning of money and learn an awful lot about themselves and their own decision making processes."
— GEORGE RAND (PhD and MA, Psychology, Clark & interested parent)
