Hi guys!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we’re teaming up with The Children’s Book Review to bring you a stop along their latest AWARENESS TOUR featuring a Graphic Novel aiming to introduce kiddos of all ages to financial freedom. Sound like too daunting a topic for wee ones? Heck, it sounds daunting to ADULTS too...but this book takes a new approach to the age old challenge, and, from the sound of things, presents an adventurous tale to entertain while still reaching its loftier goals. I’ll let you get more acquainted with the title at hand, and don’t miss a special GUEST POST from the author himself on just why starting early on money matters REALLY matters! Without further ado, allow me to introduce today’s title in the spotlight...

Why Does Teaching Money Mindfulness to Kids Matter
...with Author David Delisle
Whenever we think about money, our entire focus is on how to have more. Even when we teach our kids to save, the entire reason for this lesson is so that they can have MORE to buy something more expensive later. And this is why it doesn’t matter how much we have, we never have enough.
It is okay to want more and to save and grow your money. But before we teach our kids this lesson, they need to first learn why they would want more in the first place. They need to learn what’s really important to them. What is the stuff that truly brings them joy? What is their awesome stuff?
For everyone, the answer to this question will be different. For some it will be things, for others it will be experiences, and for most it will be a combination of the two. It’s not the answer that’s important. It is the awareness where the magic happens and you begin to shift your focus from always wanting more, towards what’s really important to you.
One of my favorite Golden Rules of Money is, “Only buy the Awesome Stuff”. The rule is that before you spend your money on something, pause for a moment and simply ask yourself, “Is this the Awesome Stuff?”. And if the answer is no…don’t buy it.
Instead of feeling sad because you couldn’t buy something and still really want it, you will realize that it wasn’t something you wanted in the first place and instead focus on those things that really are important to you.
This mindful approach to money is the only way that we can break the endless cycle of wanting more.
This is the missing first lesson that we aren’t teaching our kids.
It really is that easy to change the way we think about money and begin our journey to a rich life.
