They are exposed to art, manners, math, research, science, and more, without even realizing it. And they build a foundation for a lifelong love of learning and fiscal independence, all while having fun!

My Take on the Book
Earn it, Learn it is a great book to have if you have young children and are struggling to find the best way to teach them fiscal responsibility. The book is packed with great tools to teach your child about the value of money and the value to be responsible of money.
The book itself was an easy read and through the way that the book was written, it was easy to follow, funny and was completely understandable. I loved the little anecdotes and stories that were shared as well as the easy to implement ideas that all parents can and should try.

Chris,
Had a chance to try any of the "careers" with your child yet? Seems like a cool idea for younger kids, and I'm interested to hear about how they respond to it.
