In this thoughtful and practical update to Extreme Economics, Keen Babbage offers a crucial message of hope for teachers and families alike: All children can learn how to budget, save, and invest for the future through fun and meaningful activities that can be reinforced at home and school. 'Money management mastery is not magical or mysterious,' Babbage writes. Instilling financial sense in the next generation will depend on the willingness of today's generation to 'make the time' to teach children how to be smart about money.
