The Sink or Swim Money Program: A 6-Step Plan for Teaching Your Teens Financial Responsibility

A step-by-step guide to teaching kids fiscal responsibility, and instilling positive spending habits that will last a lifetime. Children don’t know much about money—they just know what they want (like overpriced junk food and the most expensive sneakers). But learning a little financial wisdom can set them on a path that will make their futures significantly better—and allow them to navigate a scary adult world full of spending pitfalls. In this book, Dr. John E. Whitcomb provides a six-step program to do just that. It begins with letting go. Terrifying as it seems, your children learn more with the power of non-essential spending in their own hands. With the freedom to spend as they please and make their own mistakes, spending money becomes not an argument, but an important lesson in priorities. But they won't be alone in the wild with a pocket full of cash. Whether for school, clothes, or hobbies, teens and parents can sign a contract detailing the limits of their spending that work for each of them. From day-to-day decisions all the way to the milestones of adulthood—opening their first checking account, college savings, and getting their first car—Dr. Whitcomb's application of the capitation method prepares them for every step of their financial journey. “Explains Whitcomb's original and systematic technique for teaching kids how to manage money responsibly.”—Publishers Weekly Previously published as Capitating Your Kids: Teaching Your Teens Financial Independence
