Kids... do you want to know a secret? Money is more than just money. It's important. We work hard to earn money, we fantasize about winning the lottery, and we always want more than we have. But why? What does money have to do with chocolate bars, bubbles, tulips, or putting eggs in one basket? The Secret Life of Money helps kids see how currency affects much more than adult bank accounts and investments.

This book covers many aspects: from very strange stories to the latest research. This is the book that will give your children the confidence to start taking control of their financial future today, in a fun and interesting way. Even adults can benefit from reading it!
The book explains that money is much more than bills and coins; it's a "weird, fun, and, above all, understandable part of everyone's life." The author aims to demystify it, presenting it not as a mysterious or terrifying subject, but as knowledge that brings freedom. Kira Vermond takes the reader on a journey that begins with the history of money, its transformations over time, and the reasons why it exists. She then explores how people make money , whether working for others or starting their own business, and how this varies by profession or occupation. A crucial point is money management.
The book addresses the dangers of spending what you don't yet have, the usefulness of credit, and the importance of using it wisely to avoid being overwhelmed by interest charges. It also clarifies financial concepts such as investments, bank accounts, mutual funds, and exchange rates in a humorous and entertaining way, but without being superficial.
The author not only focuses on personal wealth, but connects money to broader social issues. She explains how waste can contribute to poverty and, conversely, how a wealthy person can help combat it, highlighting truly effective charitable methods. The book, with clever and humorous illustrations, ultimately encourages a healthy relationship with money, where it is neither the protagonist nor the antagonist, but rather a tool for living a good life with balanced accounts.
