Share the Wealth!
How exciting to see the lessons of financial responsibility presented in a family friendly manner! The icing on the cake is the attention to sharing financial resources and taking seriously the welfare of those outside your immeidate family. In a time when kids, and adults, are attracted by How To Be A Millionaire or Homes of the Rich and Famous, the message that financial know how can be used for more than our own personal gain is sorely needed. This book would be good not only for families, but in classrooms and club settings. Well done!

Get Past Your Own Money Paralysis
If you're like me and millions of other parents, aunts, uncles, etc. you don't feel equipped to teach the kids in your life about money because of your own issues. Raising Financially Fit Kids helped me get beyond my money paralysis by encouraging me to realize that it's important to start somewhere, even if it's just with baby steps. The author, Joline Godfrey, reminds us that money is a tool, not an end into itself, to be used to impart the type of values we hope our children will develop during their financial apprenticeship. The content is first rate and the design easy to navigate. I highly recommend it.

Great Help for a "not-so-easy" subject
I not only enjoyed reading the book but found it extremely helpful and fun. As a CPA (money person) I can vouch for how difficult it is to raise fanancial fit kids...not only my client's but my own!!The book was insightful and well organized. I'm hopeful ...no make that confident it will make a difference in the way my children approach money issues.
