    About this ebook

    Money Mentor contains the important information many young people were never taught about money. It is a book ideal for parents to give to graduates, or even to use to improve their own money habits.

    Readers learn about how to earn, save, spend and invest money to their advantage. This book is for all parents and children who want to understand how money can work to their benefit. It explains money relationships, budgeting, and about bills and creditors, how to fix money problems and deal with debt.

    This eBook contains a comprehensive and detailed look at money and how to better use it. No matter how hard things are financially, it is never too late to learn and never too late to start over. Now, adult children have a comprehensive reference for answers about all they feel they never were taught about money.

    Nothing is worse for a parent than to have an adult child complain they were never taught about money when they get stuck in financial difficulties. This eBook includes a broad look at money and how to earn it, save it, spend it and invest it. It is basic but thorough information written in a friendly and understandable manner.

    The author composed this eBook for her own children and grandchildren to use, in hopes they will learn better money management skills than she herself had learned. It contains information gathered over a lifetime of spending, running up debt, bankruptcy and recovery.

    This eBook can be marketed as an ideal graduation gift for any high school or college student. At the same time, parents who are struggling will also find the information useful.

      Money Mentor- Money Management eBook – 2012

      By Linda Carol Everett

      Nothing hurts a parent’s pride more than having an adult son or daughter complain that you never taught them about money. Now that they are in financial difficulty, the chickens are home to roost. Perhaps they are in over their head on many debts, or even to the sad point of declaring bankruptcy.

      No matter how hard things are financially, it is never too late to learn and never too late to start over. Now, adult children have this eBook as a comprehensive reference for answers about all they feel they never were taught about money. There no longer is any excuse to claim you do not understand money, how to use money or how to save money.

      Parents should read this eBook and pass it along to their children so they can also learn. Children, you might even want to recommend this eBook to your parents; it is never too late to learn about money and how to use it.

      Money, properly earned, saved, invested and used can be a source of financial peace of mind. This is especially important today, as economic worries mount and the future looks dismal for many. It may seem that the old ways no longer work, but actually they still are the best chance for securing a financial future and having peace of mind today. Living debt free is an amazing and worthy goal; only a few accomplish it, but that should be one of the top goals set out on any financial plan for any age person.

      Look over the table of contents and find what interests you most. Read that section first, or go through everything step by step. Be sure to read all the information and, by the time you finish this eBook, you should have a firm grasp on knowledge about money and how to use it. Read it all!

      Children and young adults – This is the knowledge you need but may not have been taught yet.

      Parents – This is the knowledge you should be passing along to your children, and please, use it yourself.

      Thomas Tusser (1524 – 3 May 1580) was an English poet and farmer, best known for his instructional poem Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry, published in 1557. It contains the lines

      A foole and his monie be soone at debate,

      which after with sorrow repents him too late.

      That is an early version of the proverb: A fool and his money are soon parted.
