One of the most challenging jobs in life is parenting.

Besides just keeping our children fed, clothed, and clean, there’s so much we need to teach them about life, from how to care for themselves to having healthy relationships with others.

And that’s where this book comes in. Launching Financial Grownups: Live Your Richest Life by Helping Your (Almost) Adult Kids Become Everyday Money Smart is a guide for parents who want to help their kids learn important money skills and develop positive money habits.

Written by Certified Financial Planner Bobbi Rebell, this book will help you teach your younger kids about money and assist you in preparing your older ones to become financially independent adults, no matter your own level of knowledge on personal finance.
