The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money | |
In the spirit of Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman’s Nurture Shock, New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years.
For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values.
Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic.
But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don’t know how and when to start.

好，很有价值的一本书
Lots of good ideas for raising children in a world where kids think they should have everything, parents are afraid they are putting them at a disadvantage if they don't give it to them, and very few of us can afford to give our kids everything "everyone else has." I see so many children who mistakenly believe they are entitled. They are in for a rude awakening when they grow up and have to support themselves. This book has great ideas for teaching children about money, family finances, saving, giving, etc. Also, I liked the fact that the author was able to discuss both sides of the allowance issue (should they have to do chores to receive it?), and make good suggestions for parents, no matter which side of the argument they fall on. The idea of sharing information about your personal finances with your children is a little scary in some ways, but it's the only way they will get a realistic picture of what it takes to maintain a household, and understand how far income actually goes.
Even if you don't agree with his point of view on some things, you will definitely find some helpful information!
I'm a parent of 3 quickly growing children and found the advice given in the book to be practical and on target. Lieber's writing comes across in a non-preachy way and while reading the book, I felt as if I was having coffee with a very savvy and smart friend versus reading a book on finance. My oldest child, 11, has also read parts of the book and it's started some needed conversations about money in my house. A great read for parents navigating the world of raising kids!
In truth, it's less a guide for not spoiling your kids and more a great tool for raising kids who have a good relationship with money. Should be required reading for all parents. Here's my advice: read one less book on how to get your baby to sleep (they all do eventually) and put THIS on your nightstand.
