Description
The Sink or Swim Money Program: A 6-Step Plan for Teaching Your Teenager Financial Responsibility
By John-E-Whitcombe
With increasingly high debt becoming a bigger problems in families every year, it is more important than ever that parents teach their children to be financially responsible. While every child is different, and some can learn to be responsible with money at a younger age, parents should make sure to teach their teens how to handle money before they are in college or out on their own. In The Sink or Swim Money Program, John E. Whitcomb takes parents through a 6 step plan for teaching teens how to be financially responsible.
In Mr. Whitcomb’s book, he takes a humorous look at teaching kids the value of money and making them responsible for their own money and purchases.
Here are a few of the ideas his book focuses on:
- Calculating a budget
- Work out a contract between you and your teen
- How to plan ahead
With this system, the main point is that the teens are given a set amount of money that is to cover their basic needs, that you would normally pay: food, clothing and other necessities. It is a trial and error method, where the kids are given free reign on their money and will quickly learn what they can and cannot do with it.
In addition to the lessons on spending, the book deals with planning for large expenses, such as college, cars and insurance. It also includes sections on checking accounts, credit cards and tips on saving and earning extra money with lesson plans and sample contracts.
Paperback, 2002, 183pages, very good condition
