Quick, interesting read, but not mind-blowing. Lieber doesn't really give any hard & fast rules for things like how much of an allowance to give, etc. But he does use lots of examples from families who are trying to raise kids who have a better understanding about money, privilege, working, and giving. He says we are naturally reticent to talk about money or to disclose finances to our kids for a variety of reasons, but kids are curious about money and will try to find answers--answers that may not be accurate or that may cause them to reach the wrong conclusions. So it's better to bite the bullet and talk about stuff in an age-appropriate way.
