Dear Fellow Parents,
As a CPA, I can professionally say that there
is more to teaching a child about money than
simply requiring them to work for their
allowance, save money, pay bills, and don't
get into debt. In today's world, we all need
much more sophisticated money management
skills than we receive in school or at home.
For those of you who read Rich Dad Poor Dad, which I co-authored with
Robert Kiyosaki, you may have read how
frustrated I felt as a mom as well as a CPA in
not being able to teach my children what I
knew professionally. In the book I write about
how happy I was to find Robert developing
Cashflow 101, which is the educational product
I was looking for. Now that the book and CF
101 are launched, we heard from so many of you
that we needed a Cashflow game for kids...and
here it is. This is the game I wish I had had
for my children when they were still young.
Our children will be required to learn much
more than we ever did, and much more than
schools can ever teach them. Cashflow
Management is an essential life skill and a
skill that will require much more
sophistication as we move further into the
Information Age. If in one small way I have
been able to support parents with their
child's educational process, I feel happy and
this work brings me a sense of satisfaction,
both as a CPA and as a mom.
Yours truly,
Sharon Lechter
