Written for parents by a parent

The book is organized by age groups starting with pre-school and continuing through high school. The process grows with each kid and focuses on three essentials of money management.

• Timing the money: Understanding how money comes in and goes out and effect on the balance, e.g. cash flow.
• Tracking the money: Knowing all ones financial resources, e.g. record keeping
• Talking about money: Learning financial terminology to be able to talk about money
  

What is a No-Cash Allowance?

The No-Cash Allowance is a system in which a child controls all funds received from parents through a written account initially kept in the home. Adults act as bankers and the child as account owner. The child withdraws, transfers, and deposits funds while keeping a running balance. Credit spending, electronic transfers, ATMs, debit cards–and other forms of virtual money that haven’t been invented yet–are all in the future of our children. Parents use money they would spend anyway to provide a financial education in their home.

Learning money management is learning how to make decisions. That is the hands-on skill that kids can practice in the home using their own money. The process explained in the book will help your kids learn how to manage money in a day-to-day setting, just like you do.
