Millionaire Babies or Bankrupt Brats?
Love and Logic Solutions to Teaching Kids About Money

Millionaire Babies or Bankrupt Brats? provides an approach that allows everyone to reap the benefits. Children benefit because they learn how to solve their own problems, while gaining the confidence and capability they need to meet life’s financial responsibility challenges. And parents benefit because they establish healthy control now, without resorting to anger or threats, and without the guilt of having to rescue their kids later when they should be financially independent.

You will learn how to:

  • set limits with your children without losing their love.
  • do what’s best for your children without feeling guilty.
  • do what’s right in the short term to prevent financial problems in the long term.

This book teams up America’s parenting experts, the Love and Logic Institute, with time tested tools, financial strategies, and principles to produce a book for anyone who wants to profoundly influence the quality of a child’s life for the future.  Financial responsibility is truly the ultimate gift any parent can give their child.

How is Millionaire Babies or Bankrupt Brats? different from other books?
While there are other books about kids and discipline, and other books about kids and money, Millionaire Babies or Bankrupt Brats? is really two books in one. It combines teaching both personal responsibility and financial responsibility, because the two are inextricably intertwined.

Instead of just telling parents they need to set limits on spending, as with many other books in its genre, it shows parents how. This book will take you through the steps needed to make teaching character and money count together to avoid spiritual and financial “bankruptcy”.

Why is teaching kids about money important now?  Why does the Love and Logic® way work?
Many people make the mistake of thinking that kids don’t need to learn about how to manage their money wisely until they become teenagers or leave home for the first time. The financial signs of our time make the information in this book timelier than ever. Millionaire Babies or Bankrupt Brats? is about raising self-reliant kids in a self-indulgent world and shows parents how to start early and often to prepare them for the real world of life.

After all, your children may well be your future financial caretakers.

Why is this the one parenting book about money you must have if you have children?
When a baby is born it is more than a millionaire to its parents, it is priceless.

Yet our children can become bankrupt in more ways than financial if we don’t prepare them for the realities of the world they will inherit. No parent wants to see their children struggle financially. Millionaire Babies or Bankrupt Brats? uses a powerful combination of strategies and principles that help you teach your children about all aspects of money.
