Child Investing Money

Most personal finance books are strictly about the finance– how to invest, plan for retirement, save money, or become a millionaire overnight. Love & Money delves deeper into what’ s truly personal about finance, exploring how our most intimate relationships are affected by money and then offering proven strategies for managing money without creating needless tension in the household. Based on Jeff Opdyke’ s popular Wall Street Journal Sunday column of the same name, Love & Money is the definitive personal finance guidebook for ordinary folks, uncovering the real money issues that divide and unite our relationships every day: merging bank accounts, arguing about the finances of having a child, handling a parent who has been irresponsible with their money. Love & Money shows readers how real people have resolved these and many more issues both peacefully and practically. Money problems aren’ t responsible for ruining relationships. Our inability to talk about those problems is. Few people know how to broach the topic of money at all, even with the people they’ re closest to in life; Love & Money is the road map to those discussions. While affirming that our relationships will always be worth more than dollars and cents, Opdyke shows us how to balance and grow both. Drawing on the author’ s own experiences, as well as those of his many faithful readers and correspondents, Love and Money offers thoughtful and actionable advice to readers at every stage of life. Everyone has a different attitude toward money, but we must take care not to allow these differences to obscure what’ s really important. Opdyke suggests that effective,straightforward communication is the key. Love & Money will show you how to talk to your loved ones about money before financial conflicts become insurmountable– and even after they’ ve seemingly passed that point.
