Dear Mrs. Mary Hunt: My name is Abby. I am 13 years old. So, my mom got your book, “Raising Financially Confident Kids.” She is on Chapter 9, and she wants to do that—give your kids money and make them buy their clothes, shoes, etc., each month.

Well, I didn’t really like the idea. I actually thought it was stupid. But I didn’t say anything. So later on my mom went to bed, so I picked up the book and read it. Then I knew that it wasn’t stupid. It was about teaching your kids how to handle money.
