Teaching your children financial litteracy is very important. I do not have children, but if I do someday, I will most certianly be buying Monopoly along with teaching them what I know of financial litteracy. I thought that I would reccomened to others on this site to look into cashflow for kids board game by Robert Kiyosaki. Along with some of his books like Rich Kid, Smart Kid. I think that these are an excellent source to teach your kids about their financial future and important. You want to make sure that you are teaching them proper values and not mis directing them like so many others have done. I stumbled upon this site, and I couldn’t agree with it more.
