Ron Lieber, with Mark Silver, Ph.D. Ron Lieber offers a detailed blueprint for introducing kids to the basics of financial literacy: from allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. He 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.
Lieber is a best-selling personal finance and parenting writer and veteran business reporter, has been the “Your Money” columnist for The New York Times since 2008. He is the author of four books focused on the development of good values and smart financial habits, including The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money and Upstart Start-Ups, for young entrepreneurs.
