Book ID/图书代码： 08284010B38172

English Summary/英文概要： Piggybanking is a must-have financial guide that shows couples how to afford kids and how to teach them about money. A longtime personal finance writer for the Wall Street Journal, author Jeff D. Opdyke offers invaluable advice for young families no matter what the financial climate—recession or boom—in a one-of-a-kind handbook for “Preparing Your Financial Life for Kids and Your Kids for a Financial Life.”

How to afford kids—and teach them about money

We all want to raise smart children. But somewhere between the reading, writing, and arithmetic, one of life’s most important lessons is too often overlooked: personal finances. As adults, we interact with money every day, whether by saving, investing, spending, or giving it, but we often forget that kids also face these same decisions—from their own unique perspective—as they mature. How do we teach today what kids really need to know tomorrow to thrive as financially savvy adults? In Piggybanking, veteran Wall Street Journal personal-finance writer Jeff D. Opdyke provides a clear and effective plan to help parents raise children to be comfortable and confident managing the daily finances of life.

But even before kids arrive, parents face a rash of financial decisions. Accordingly, Piggybanking also deals with the essential problems every struggling young family must face, including how to prepare your budget for a child’s arrival, how to choose between single- and dual-income lifestyles, and how to plan for funding a college education.

With Opdyke’s valuable advice, and with his 15 Rules of Kids & Money in hand, parents will be well equipped to create a sound financial foundation for their family and a successful financial life for their kids.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這本書價值將超過日後你準備留給小孩的所有遺產！

全天下父母都希望自己小孩最優秀，聰明，注意力都放在小孩學業、知識或才藝上的能力，但其實最重要的是給孩子足以享用一生的理財觀念。成年人每天都會面對金錢的處理，尤其在全球經濟持續不穩的現在，小孩更應該從小與父母共同學習與「金錢」相處，畢竟我們不敢保證未來狀況是否會比現在好。
身為華爾街日報的資深個人理財作家的Jeff在本書中將提供他多年的理財經驗，歸納出15條父母能給小孩的理財觀念，此外，作者也書中提供所有新婚夫婦在計畫生育前的理財準備。(Vincent)

“Piggybanking takes you from the “Can-we-really-afford-to-have-kids?” stage clear through paying for college. It’s a quick read. It makes sense. Your child will learn to make responsible financial decisions. Mom and dad - not the child - will find Opdyke’s approach tough; unless both parents can stick to the program, the $15.99 you spend to buy book will be wasted.”---Fox Business
