“Kidpreneurs – Young Entrepreneurs with Big Ideas” A FamilyMint Book Review
Adam and Matthew are serial entrepreneurs and have boiled the subject of kids starting businesses down into 60 short and enjoyable pages. The look and feel is like that of a fun, colorful scrapbook rather than boring business book. I would definitely recommend it for parents with kids between the ages of 7 and 14.

I really appreciate FamilyMint and the benefit that it’s been to our family in teaching good stewardship. I think, however, my husband summed it up best when I mentioned to him that we were going to have to start paying for FamilyMint. In his usual succinct way (and without even looking up from what he was doing), he said, “Worth it.” Enough said.

Oh how I wish we had had this with the older kids! We had boxes for them to divide their money and because of “accidents” money would be misplaced etc. For our two youngest 12 and 10 this is a lifesaver. The best part is the automatic allowance scheduler, now we don’t have to remember when we last paid them! We have a budding lawyer in the 10 yr old and he could “always remember”, but not accurately LOL! They have both started to think ahead to activities they want money for, such as birthdays coming up, or trips to the boardwalk. They love coming home from shopping and updating their accounts, we love not having to dole out cash that gets easily misplaced!
