Tiền của gia đình - Các gia đình tiêu tiền như thế nào và tại sao?

by William Whitehead, Lê Hùng (Translator)

Một gia đình thì sử dụng tiền như thế nào nhỉ? Tiền của gia đình sẽ đi đâu? Sao chúng ta lại phải trả tiền nước? Hay tiền điện? Hay đóng góp cho các công trình phúc lợi?

Tập sách nhỏ này sẽ phác nên một bức tranh cơ bản về đồng tiền trong gia đình, nó đến từ đâu và cần chi cho một số lượng nhu cầu nhiều khủng khiếp đến mức nào. Thật không dễ để giữ cân bằng hai mặt này. Hiểu biết về tiền của gia đình cũng là một bước hiểu thêm về chính gia đình, và điều đó lúc nào cũng thật tuyệt, phải không?

Reviews

[Paula · Rating 4 out of 5]

This title of the “How Money Works” series discusses family money. Basically it introduces upper elementary and middle school students to the realities of budgeting: how and why families spend their money. Conversational text addresses the costs of home ownership, cars, food, and other household expenses that young consumers seldom consider. It offers suggestions for earning and saving money and being responsible with money. Short, simple paragraphs combined with graphs, charts and related illustrations make learning about finances more palatable and easy to understand. The format is engaging and even the most abstract principles of finance are explained simply. Back matter includes a bibliography, websites, glossary and index. The entire series is a must for any library or economics/social studies teacher.

Is talking about money hard for you educators or parents? Why not give the How Money Works Series a try!
In Family Money, we read a lot about budgets and budgeting and how they are very important at this level. The reader is then asked to look at expenses of the household: housing, utilities, car, family fun, taxes, cleaning up, education, doctor bills, savings, etc. Each of these expenses are given their own chapter to explore further in depth. The illustrations go very will with the short, detailed paragraphs. Perfect for late elementary and early middle grades to read and understand. This book is laid out to not overwhelm readers of this age group, nor does it feel like they are given overly simplified answers. The "Let's Discuss This!" section would be good for the middle grade students to do research on, to learn even more!
Thank you Norwood House Press and NetGalley for the digital ARC of this book, which made this honest review possible.
