Praise for the book, The Art of Allowance: a short, practical guide to raising Money-Smart, Money-Empowered kids, upon which this course is based:
“I’ve always known I wanted my young daughter to grow up with an understanding of money and to encourage smart spending habits, but I didn’t know how to get started. After attending the Art of Allowance Academy I feel less overwhelmed and like I have a solid game plan.“
Callie Bloem, Co-Founder of MiLOWEkids.com
Concise. Real. Optimistic. Non-judgmental. My kind of book. John shares honest, warts-and-all stories about the practical techniques he honed over more than a decade to raise kids who are thoughtful and capable with money. (The ‘Breakthrough Allowance’ for teens is a personal favorite.)

I highly recommend this book for any parent looking to get their child familiar with financial concepts. Where other similar books will offer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, this book recognizes that not all children (or parents) have the same means, or ideas, about saving, and gives the reader suggestions instead of solutions. It also offers parents versatility and freedom to incorporate their own ideas and get their child on the track to being money-empowered regardless of whether they start at age 5 or 15!
