Life Unlocked, Money Basics: Your Guide to Growing Up

Does your child know what money actually IS - or just that they want more of it? Most kids learn to spend money long before anyone teaches them to understand it. Nick's Money Book changes that - one fun chapter at a time. Nick is 9 years old. He loves football, asks brilliant questions, and has just been handed his first coin. What follows is a journey through the most important money lessons a child can learn - told through Nick's real-life adventures at the shop, at home, and on the football pitch. In this book, your child will discover: - What money really is (and the hilarious history of bartering)- How kids can earn money - not just receive it- The difference between needs and wants (the hardest lesson of all)- The powerful three-jar system: Save, Spend and Give- How to spot shop tricks designed to make you spend more- Why generous people often feel the richest- How to build a simple money plan - at any age- Wild money facts and myth-busting for the whole family >Each chapter ends with a hands-on activity page - fill-in-the-blank challenges, savings trackers, decision-making exercises, and "ask a grown-up" moments that turn reading into real conversation. No jargon. No lectures. Just Nick, his three jars, and a pair of gold-striped football boots he's determined to earn.
