As I try a new technique I ask myself, is this teaching my child how to make good choices? Is she learning to ask God what the correct choice is? My goal is that my girls will be able to fully function as God's servants and become strong leaders for positive change.

Rich Dad Poor Dad
Wow! This book states that kids don't learn about investing or saving money at school. They learn it from their parents. With the stock market so uncertain right now, it looks like real estate might be a good way to invest. Too bad the book doesn't tell people how to do it, just what not to do. I enjoyed this book as a springboard into more books and workshops on money. Funny, since I don't care for stuff. I do care a lot about financial security in uncertain times and I don't want to rely on the government to take care of me in my old age. What I learned about retirement homes recently is that if you have enough money you get to pick your retirement home or living environment, but if you don't the government will pick where you live. Let me tell you, it's not the same quality for low income homes as the other ones. This is what drives me to learn more about tax laws, investing, etc. Good luck to you as well!
