Young children learn early that they cannot have everything they want. Unfortunately, they do not always understand why this is the case or why each choice comes with a cost. When asked about the confusion for making choices, they respond that it is the fault of someone else, that this individual is just stopping them from getting their desired choice or that when they become adults, choices will no longer be a problem. There never seems to be enough money or time to have or to do everything one wants. This Book tries to teach children how people decide to use scarce resources to satisfy their wants. There are never enough resources to produce everything society wants. Therefore, choices should depend upon what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. After reading this book, it is highly expected that children will develop an ability to make choices and understand the consequences of those choices on themselves and others.

Motivation to be smart with money can come from a variety of sources. One source is from being convinced early in life that saving and investing is highly likely to leave you doing very well in later life. At the same time, another source comes from being convinced that not saving is highly likely to leave you very bad off in years to come. This book is intended to increase your motivation to be money-smart by showing some simple logical diagrams (models) and simple math examples that illustrate why saving and not saving lead to these outcomes. The principle supporting these conclusions is called the economic law of money saving. The law explains why, over time, saving is the cause for a small group of society to end up with a disproportionately large amount of money and a large group of society ends up with a small portion. The book is short and to the point. I hope you and your children embrace the message and live long prosperous lives. Enjoy.

"In the decades it takes to bring up a child, parents face challenges that are both helped and hindered by the fact that they are living through a period of unprecedented digital innovation. Drawing on extensive research with diverse parents, this book reveals how digital technologies give personal and political parenting struggles a distinctive character, as parents determine how to forge new territory with little precedent, or support. The book reveals the pincer movement of parenting in late modernity. Parents are both more burdened with responsibilities and charged with respecting the agency of their child-leaving much to negotiate in today's "democratic" families. The book charts how parents now often enact authority and values through digital technologies-as "screen time," games, or social media become ways of both being together and setting boundaries. The authors show how digital technologies introduce both valued opportunities and new sources of risk. To light their way, parents comb through the hazy memories of their own childhoods and look toward varied imagined futures. This results in deeply diverse parenting in the present, as parents move between embracing, resisting, or balancing the role of technology in their own and their children's lives. This book moves beyond the panicky headlines to offer a deeply researched exploration of what it means to parent in a period of significant social and technological change. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research in the United Kingdom, the book offers conclusions and insights relevant to parents, policymakers, educators, and researchers everywhere"--
