Description
Youth financial education is an urgent issue, and author Sabrina Lamb believes that African American parents first must reeducate themselves about finances to make sure the next generation does not fall into the spending trap that can be a family legacy. The lack of a healthy financial education has generational impact, causing families to be financially vulnerable, squander financial resources, and fail at wealth accumulation.
With step-by-step advice and exercises for parents and young people, Do I Look Like an ATM? sets out to establish new financial behavior so children will avoid the personal economic problems that have plagued their culture. The book guides parents through self-examination of their financial habits, and by performing the exercises in this book and having candid discussions, they can, together with their children, become engaged citizens in the world of money. With new financial traditions and a better understanding money and its meaning, the next generation will realize the true power of wealth and use their money wisely.
Advance Praise
"Do I Look Like an ATM? addresses, for the first time, the attitudinal and behavioral blocks which
prevent parents from imparting healthy money principles to their children. The
truth is that if parents do not examine their own beliefs about money, societal
pressures will take their place. This book is a must-read.” —Jeffrey Gardere, Ph.D., author of Practical
Parenting with Montel Williams
"Helping African-Americans achieve economic justice has never been more urgent. Do I Look Like An ATM? provides parents with the support they desperately need so that they can begin to transform the financial culture of their families as well as their descendants. " Kelvin Boston best-selling author and host of Moneywise
“Any parent who has ever given their child an allowance, only to have them look to spend mom and dad’s cash rather than their own, knows that financial literacy is the key to a happier household! Do I Look Like an ATM? is a must-read parents’ guide to making their children better, smarter spenders – and it can’t hurt for the adults to learn a few tips themselves.” — Joy-Ann Reid, Managing Editor, TheGrio.com; MSNBC Contributor
