I can't say I was introduced to new ideas in this book but I don't think that makes it a bad book. I found myself sliiiiightly triggered by these mythical parents who give their kids a set allowance, and teach their kids about money. Can't blame that on the book/author. I think this book is for someone who has money to give, and who has a hard time saying no to their kids. This gives you a framework for how to install good financial habits in your kids.
