Teaching Kids About Money: Books and Games

 Cash, Cars and College - Janine Bolon

Written to teens.  I found this to be the best money book out there written specifically for youth.  It was not too complicated, over my head, or overwhelming.  Great principles!

The Entitlement Trap - Richard and Linda Eyre

Great book!  If you've read their other stuff there's not a whole lot of new in this one.  But if you haven't read anything of theirs this would be a great one to start with!  They teach parents how to give their children ownership.  Excellent!
