About this ebook
We live in a time where children and teenagers learn about 'everything' around them except about money. They learn how to read and write, how to count numbers and identify figures, how to pray and practice religion; but not how to handle money.
Today they are rated among the worst spenders in the world. Even when they become adults, they find it difficult to break away from their spending lifestyles; a habit they developed from childhood.
Many adults wished they were given financial education whey they were children. They wished they knew how to handle money early in life. That is why they are paying the bitter price today, living from hand to mouth, struggling to make ends meet.
We must save our children from the dangers of financial illiteracy that has impoverished many and is still impoverishing more across the world. Let's give them early financial education and increase their chances of becoming responsible adults tomorrow.
Their academic education is good but still not enough to solve the problem since most of our schools don't teach young people about money. That is why they need financial education.
The earlier they gain this education, the better they become financially. That is why this book has been written.
This book will teach your child and young people;
1. The value of money and how it is earned
2. The importance of savings and investing
3. The difference between Need and Want
4. How to keep good financial/money records
5. How to spend wisely and avoid impulse spending
6. How to think like an entrepreneur, and lots more

Peter Emeka is a born educator and a passionate advocate of financial education. He is known for his natural abilities of making complex matters simple, especially in the area of personal finance for kids and young people. He believes our school education has done a lot to raise our children but has ignored the vital area financial education, a knowledge they need to succeed in today’s world. His desire for this education led to the writing of his first book, ‘What I Wish My Parents Taught Me about Money’ that introduces youngsters to the concept of money and how it works. His other books are on the way. He holds financial seminars for children, young people and parents where he teaches basic principles of financial intelligence and how they can apply in our day-to-day lives. He believes that lack of financial intelligence is one of the reasons why nine out of every ten start-up businesses die within five years of their existence. He said, “An entrepreneur who cannot manage his personal finance has little or no chances of managing his business.” Peter is a graduate of the University of Nigeria, in West Africa and the CEO of Young People Financial Education Network.
