Book Review - Smart Money Smart Kids

Smart Money Smart Kids

 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg

About the Book
Dave Ramsey and Rachel Cruze teach parents how to raise money-smart kids in a debt-filled world.

In Smart Money Smart Kids, financial expert and best-selling author Dave Ramsey and his daughter Rachel Cruze equip parents to teach their children how to win with money. Starting with the basics like working, spending, saving, and giving, and moving into more challenging issues like avoiding debt for life, paying cash for college, and battling discontentment, Dave and Rachel present a no-nonsense, common-sense approach for changing your family tree.


My Take on the Book
This was a great book that provides practical tips and resources for all parents to help their kids to come to a better understanding about money, money management and how to make good decisions for their overall futures. The book follows Dave Ramsey's style, or telling it like it is and sparing nothing. The book is filled with stories that allow the reader to make the story real and is not as brash as some of Dave's books can be (at least in tone). The two authors, being father and daughter themselves have a natural flow in their writing that seems to work well together. I enjoyed seeing how the authors share information broken down by specific age group so no matter what age your children are, this book gives you valuable information to help you with your children. This was well written and a very fast read. If you are like me you will find yourself going back to re-read sections as you are starting ti implement this for yourself!

Book Review - Secure: Finding True Financial Freedom

All opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by the company.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. Please refer to this site's Disclaimer  for more information. I have been compensated or given a product free of charge, but that does not impact my views or opinions.


Secure: Finding True Financial Freedom


About the Book
In tough economic times like these, many people are desperate to find a real sense of security. Rick Dunham, the author of “Secure: Finding True Financial Freedom,” found out the hard way that real security isn’t found in your paycheck, possessions or portfolio.

When Dunham was fired from his first job out of seminary, he seemed to be on the brink of financial disaster. With a wife and three young children to support and payments to make on homes in Texas and Southern California, bankruptcy seemed inevitable.

“Looking back, what I realize now is that God took me into a financial wilderness to teach me lessons that I couldn’t have learned any other way,” Dunham writes. “He was, in fact, rescuing me from a bondage that I didn’t really understand.”

When he was on the verge of bankruptcy, family members came to his aid. That crisis, and a similar one 20 years later, taught him a valuable lesson.

“Money promises a security it can never deliver,” he writes. “Our hearts have been seduced and ensnared by the promise of freedom, peace and security when in fact, money only turns our hearts away from fully following after God and His purposes.”

About the Author
Rick Dunham is a 35-year veteran in direct response marketing, fundraising, and communications for nonprofit organizations. He is the founder and CEO of Dunham+Company, an international consulting firm that assists more than 50 ministries worldwide in their communications and fundraising needs. Rick is the author of If God Will Provide, Why Do We Have to Ask for Money? and has also been published and quoted in The Washington Post, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, USA Today, Townhall.com, and Church Executive, and has served as a commentator on Fox Business News as well as radio stations and networks across the U.S. Rick also serves on the board of the Giving Institute, the publisher of Giving USA, the annual report on philanthropy in America.

My Take on the Book
This was a great resource for anyone that is trying to get a better understanding on finances and what all of the frustrating and complex financial terms mean. Too often I know that I get confused and as I was not a finance major, this book really opened my eyes to better understanding some of the intricacies of money and how this relates to my spirituality and spiritual giving.
The book was clear and concise and really makes you think about what you give to the church as well as other aspects of your life. It makes you think about how you are spending your money and whether you are living like a king or giving back to the God who created you. The book opened my eyes and made me reconsider many things in how I am giving right now. 

Know that this book will make you look internally and it will challenge you to make changes to the way you are living your life and giving more back to the Church and to God. At the end of the book you will see your money in a very different way!

Book Review - Money Secrets of the Amish

About the Book
Author and journalist Lorilee Craker was just like the rest of us, feeling the pinch from the financial fallout of 2008. As a freelancer, her income was going the way of the dodo-family dollars seemed like an extinct myth, the bank account some archeological evidence of past prosperity.

Then, inspired by a news segment covering the Amish and how they emerged from the economic crisis unscathed, she realized it was time to learn a thing or two about their time-tested approach to personal finances. While the middle-class was wringing its hands over the family budget and the wealthy were weeping over their slashed portfolios, the Amish were content as always, spared from the cares of the world and worldliness. They not only had financial health to support their lives, they exuded a wholeness that eludes so many when the financial bottom drops out.

In Money Secrets of the Amish, readers go on an "Amish money makeover," learning the choices, secrets, and disciplines that safeguarded the contentment and the coffers of America's favorite plain folk by spending less, saving more, and getting happier doing it.


My Take on the Book
I am always looking to save money, who isn't. This book takes this concept to the extreme and allows the reader to get a in-depth glimpse at what the Amish are all about and how they live in a frugal but smart way.

What was nice about this book was that the author immersed herself in the culture and did not write from afar, but instead interviewed many Amish about their ways and this is what she is bringing to the world through her writing.

The Amish have always been something of a mystery to me. I have seen them on the road, in stores or at other public locations in my years traveling and living in different places, but I have really not interacted with any of them. This book opened my eyes to the way they live and provided me (and you in the future) with some great ideas to save money and live within your means.


If you are looking for ways to to cut costs, and live simpler this book is a must read!

DVD Review - Rock 'N Learn Money and Making Change


Penny and Bill know how to shake things up when it comes to counting money and making change. Cool songs and games provide plenty of practice with real-world skills. Learn about coins and how they relate to one another, strategies for counting cash, "skip counting," expressing money in written terms, how to make change, and more. You’ll have lots of fun as you gain valuable skills you can bank on.

For ages 6 & up. Approx. 57 minutes.

About the DVD

Penny and Bill have a problem. With their big concert to play, they must repair a broken speaker. Fortunately, Penny has been saving money in her piggy bank. But just how much does she have?
Penny and Bill learn how to recognize coins, a little about the history of money, why coins and bills are starting to look different, and much more. They learn strategies for sorting coins and cash and use "skip counting" to find out exactly how much money they have.

After lots of counting money, Penny and Bill learn how to make change by pretending to buy funny items at a garage sale. You'll have time to practice counting money and making change right along with them before you hear the answers. Finally, at the big concert that evening, guess who's invited to join Penny, Bill on the front row?



My Take on the DVD
This DVD does a great job at teaching kids the difference between American money (coins). Through fun characters and music the DVD presents a topic that always intrigues kids (what child does not want money or their parents' money). 

What I loved about this DVD was the fun characters that led the change in learning. With fun names (Penny and Bill), viewers are taken on a journey into all of the coins that we have and how they can keep track of and count the money that they currently have and the money they will have in the future.

The DVD was fun and engaging and my eldest loved it, as she is my entrepreneur in our family!

Overall, this DVD is a great resource for all kids to help them in being more knowledgeable about how money works. I just hope that it helps with my girls' chores, as maybe now they will do them without a hassle... but only time will tell!

TO CATCH A DOLLAR Sparks New American Financial Literacy Campaign!

The Allstate Foundation, Dress for Success and the producers of the documentary To Catch a Dollar today launched an innovative new financial literacy initiative that encourages Americans to take concrete steps to improve their financial futures. The ‘My Dollar My Life’ campaign will provide Americans with the opportunity to make specific promises to change their financial health and, for the first 10,000 promises made, The Allstate Foundation will make a $1 donation to Grameen America.

“We’re honored to spearhead the ‘My Dollar My Life’ project,” said Vicky Dinges, Vice President for Public Social Responsibility at Allstate Insurance. “With each promise, we grow closer to an America where people not only understand the importance of planning for their financial future, but where people are actively building a stable financial future for themselves and their families. It’s our hope that this campaign will bring attention to financial empowerment for all Americans.”

To participate in ‘My Dollar My Life,’ users can visit tocatchadollar.com/promise and facebook.com/tocatchadollar, where they will have the ability to commit to one of a number of promises to improve their financial future, from contributing to a 401K to passing up an unnecessary purchase to save money. With each promise made, users will have the option of sharing their commitment on their Facebook newsfeed and The Allstate Foundation will donate $1 to the Grameen America branch fund for the first 10,000 promises made.

“Dress for Success has long placed a priority on improving financial literacy for women – especially those seeking to lift themselves out of poverty,” said Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide. “The ‘My Dollar My Life’ initiative is a unique way to pursue this objective, combining the power of storytelling with the reach of social media to create real impact.”

Audiences in hundreds of theaters across the country watched To Catch a Dollar on March 31, the story of the first Grameen America branch in the United States and how its borrowers are using small loans to build businesses and improve their lives. The Allstate Foundation and Dress for Success were supporters of the film’s launch event and are partners in its ongoing economic empowerment campaign designed to educate, assist and activate a growing community supporting microfinance services in the United States. Throughout the month of April, in partnership with leading activist and advocacy organizations, the To Catch a Dollar community is exploring issues related to the film and relevant for America today: women in poverty, the plight of the “unbanked” in America, savings and financial literacy, and policy solutions. Visitors can learn more at www.tocatchadollar.com.

“To Catch a Dollar tells an important story, but more than that, it demonstrates to audiences that there are challenges facing women in this country, but there are also solutions – so long as we are willing to take the steps needed to reach them,” said Gayle Ferraro, director and producer of the film. “As a filmmaker, it’s an honor to work with organizations like the Allstate Foundation and Dress for Success to extend the reach of my film to have real impact in people’s lives. We’re excited to get started.”

The My Dollar My Life campaign will begin today and continue throughout the week on www.tocatchadollar.com.

Book Review - Death of the American Investor

About the Book
In The Death of the American Investor: The Emergence of the New Global eShareholder (NetWorth Publications), President and CEO of NetWorth Services, Nico Willis, helps readers optimize their investments for the new year, while giving them a jump on the upcoming tax season by re-emerging as New Global eShareholders.  This book accomplishes what other books have failed to do by fearlessly addressing the drastic social and economic changes that effect today's investment system as well as offering solid practical solutions that empower individual investors.
Never before has an investment book provided such an in-depth and insightful look at what motivates the market.  Influences from the past, present, and future are explored to allow average American investors to invest like professionals.  It is must read for every investor, financial institution, and average American. Death of the American Investor is both a warning and a solution to the complexity of investing strategies, especially in the current economic climate; it will ultimately become the handbook of intelligent investing.


Coinciding with current economic events that have changed the landscape of investing, Death of the American Investor was inspired by the troubles of average American investors and people concerned about the future of investment.  By carving out a roadmap for investors to succeed through the transitioning economy, the book reveals the hidden pitfalls that have lead some investors to altogether abandon the market.  The author also gives an insightful glimpse into the future of investing, leading readers down a road of recovery and future wealth building.


In 1997, Willis founded NetWorth Services, Inc., which offers a suite of cost basis and financial solutions that have been adopted by many leading financial institutions, government agencies, Fortune 500 organizations, universities and endowments, as well as individual investors. Willis leverages his 15 years of experience in the financial services industry to oversee the strategic growth and development of the company.  Before founding NetWorth, Willis was an investment broker and held the title of vice president for various well-known financial institutions including Prudential Securities, UBS Paine Weber, and Piper Jaffray.  He managed over $90 million in assets for individual investors.  Willis co-created and co-hosted a radio talk show called “The Wall Street Hour,” which featured financial news and influential guests.


Death of the American Investor is available in bookstores everywhere and online.  For more information visit: www.networthpublications.com.

My Take on the Book
I have to say that when it comes to investing, I am a novice. I typically go to a professional, or at least a friend that has more knowledge than I to make decisions. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that this is my money and I don't want to screw anything up.

This book was a great book for the novice and expert alike. It provides so much information and is simple to understand. The author does a great job of explaining thing so that the reader can understand what has changed in investing and allows the reader to better understand what they can do to become more savvy in the investing climate of today.

The book is well written and the real life examples contained within it make it even easier to understand and relevant to the reader. A great book and one that I would highly recommend!

Filled with case studies, references, and proven examples of what works online, Attention! This Book Will Make You Money is your one-stop road map for success in today's social Web marketplace.



My Take on the Book
Filled with case studies that knock your socks off, this book will definitely make you money, if you take the time to truly read and listen to what the author has to say. Seeing that I have met Jim in person, I was impressed enough by his expertise in the field of internet marketing as well as his willingness to engage anyone else in dialogue about how they too can succeed to want to see what made this book tick.

After only reading a few pages, I could see that this book was not going to be your run-of-the-mill book. No, instead this book was one that would challenge what I knew and what I have been doing to try and make money online. This book does more than tell you about making money, it helps you to build a stronger presence and brand for yourself that ends up bringing in more money in the long run.

I found the book to be relevant, and very easy to read and interpret. The book is written with the reader in mind and allows the reader to dig in and apply the knowledge practically and immediately.

One of the things that I was impressed with in the book was that he encourages and challenges the reader to reach out to him and he promises to contact back and find time to help in any way that he ca. This seems like a large task, but I commend him for giving back to his readership!

If this book sounds like something you would like in your own library, you can find it on Amazon!
