If you’re too busy parenting to read another parenting book, The Wisest Investment is the book for you!
Most parents know that teaching their kids about money is critical to success in life, but studies show that many parents feel they lack the time, knowledge and experience to do it well. Add the seismic shift toward a cashless, digital society — accelerated by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic — and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

With The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to Be Responsible, Independent and Money-Smart for Life, award-winning Canadian author and Chartered Professional Account Robin Taub, shares strategies for time-starved parents who want to raise responsible, independent, money-smart kids for life. A go-to resource for families — complete with practical worksheets, activities and self-assessment tools — The Wisest Investment has been newly updated for navigating the post-pandemic world.

In The Wisest Investment, you’ll learn:

The Five Pillars of Money: Earn, Save, Spend, Share and Invest
Age-appropriate (from young kids to emerging adults) examples, actions and guidelines
for all Five Pillars
How to instill solid values in your children to help guide and prioritize their financial
decisions
How to help your children establish healthy money habits for life
How to capitalize on “teachable moments” about money in countless everyday scenarios
How to enhance your own money knowledge, so you can “lead by example”
How to explain and navigate our increasingly cashless society
Teaching your kids to be money-smart will pay off in numerous ways and just may be one of the wisest investments you make.
