What kid doesn’t want to be a millionaire? For that matter, what adult doesn’t want to be a millionaire? I know I sure would like to be. The secret, according to authors James McKenna and Jeannine Glista, is to start young. Come up with creative ways to earn $100, and then invest that money repeatedly until your nest egg grows. With the right amount of good investments and enough time, you can be a millionaire.The steps are simple enough: (1) Make it; (2) Save it; and (3) Grow it. These strategies are explained in full in the text. You will learn how to set financial goals. You will learn how to create a working budget. The authors even give you five ideas for ways to make your first $100 that you can invest to make more money.The authors include lots of useful tools that kids can fill out and make use of, such as the “Get a Job” Master Plan, Your Two-Page Plan to Become a Millionaire, and Your Personal Budget Tracker, along with others.This is the type of book I wish I had read when I was a kid. It’s written in easy-to-understand language. The illustrations by Matt Fontaine help young readers visualize the concepts in the text. A Glossary of Terms at the end of the book explain words and phrases that are highlighted throughout the text.The pages are packed with useful information about a host of financially-related topics. This is a great book for parents to give to their kids to help them learn about finances. It’s also a great book for teachers to use in their classrooms when teaching students about money and financial matters.Reviewed by Christine M. Irvin

I got this to teach my kids about budgeting and saving on their level as part of our homeschool curriculum. The primary learners I was targeting were my 7, 9, and 13 year olds. The book does a great job of explaining concepts, laying out a plan, and giving advice about topics including earning money, getting a job, and budgeting. A lot of the material is beyond the needs of my younger two, but everyone has been interested in the book, and we can always reread it in a few years. My favorite thing about it is the graphic presentation of the material. I also like the emphasis on saving. My husband and I used Dave Ramsey to get out of debt several years ago, and since then I have wanted to do some economic education with the kids. This isn't affiliated with Dave Ramsey at all, but it has similar principals, and it fit the bill for me.One caveat: It may give your kids ideas. For example, early on in the book a sidebar told a story of a boy who saved up to buy a dirt bike, which is EXACTLY what my 13 year old wants to do. Unfortunately, we live in the city and our yard is typically full of his siblings and there is just nowhere to ride. Also, I am a neuro nurse who has cared for patients who have met terrible ends on the seat of a dirt bike (and the trajectory off of one), so that is never going to happen while he lives at home. So, it may put you in the position of having to say no to something that is in a book that YOU gave your kid. See the problem? But otherwise, great book.

I enjoyed reading this even though I am much older than the target audience. I really like the explanation of compound interest and the stress place on the importance of savings as a long term investment tool. This is a fun and age appropriate book that covers the basics of saving, building wealth, and dealing with set-backs. Honestly, adults could stand to read this book as well. It's a quick and easy read.Disclaimer, I'm related to one of the authors. However, I bought my own copy and paid full price for it and this review is unsolicited.
