Something people often talk about, but maybe don't join the dots on, is the Bank of Mum and Dad,' says Codling. Pero este libro trata de muchas cosas más.

This is more than double the share recorded five years ago when it was just 5 per cent, and surpassed grandparents' contributions, which currently amounts to 8 per cent. Most children already have a pretty good idea of how money works, Owen believes; that's why they are seldom interested in punitive savings schemes mandated by their parents. The first step in making children financially responsible, he writes, is to take advantage of human nature rather than ignoring it or futilely trying to change it. It appears family members beyond parents are also increasingly lending their financial support to first-time buyers.Parents and grandparents making substantial gifts often worry about being caught out by inheritance tax (IHT).

Anyway, I found this stuff really compelling. Fundamentally, by allowing children access to their own pools of capital, money becomes not a means by which parents control their children (which inevitably leads to frustrating conflict), but instead becomes a way for children to confront their own needs and wants without the parent-as-cop. There is a lot to love about this idea, and Owen's understanding of human nature really comes through throughout this discussion. There was also a lot written about the value of reading and reading to your kids. In some ways, I liked how it branched out from more than just a discussion of money. However, I could see many people looking for a book that stays more laser-focused on personal finance and kids. If you are like that, then this book may not be for you. The True Value of Teaching Your Kids About MoneyFirst, Ross recommends asking the recipients to sign a letter of intent stating what they will use the money for. This letter is in no way legally binding but can pull on the conscience of a child or relative and encourage them to spend as agreed. In the final part of the book, Owen talks a bit about "values" other than money and exhorts parents to read with their kids. The reading part (though I agree 100%) feels a bit added on and disconnected from the rest of the book. A gift letter stipulating that the gift is not repayable and that no interest is being charged will be required by lenders.
