Make Your Own Money by Ty Allan Jackson

 Make Your Own Money by Ty Allan Jackson is a book for children all about money, how you can make money and how you can start your own business all as a child. This book covers everything from Business Plans, Profits, Budgets, Bank Accounts and even the Stock Market which is great. These often quite complex topics which are not shared with children have been written in a way to help children understand the financial world around them and the importance of having money, and even more importantly, the importance of trying to save your money. This book is full of good practical advice with key concepts fully explained in standard English.

I like this book as it is the perfect self-help book for children. It shows them that anything is possible and educates them in an area of life that everyone becomes more and more involved in as they get older. Although I feel this book was written for older children, this would also be a great book for teenagers as this should encourage people to make more throughout decisions and as mentioned above, understand the world of finance. It was also good how many case studies were referenced throughout the book of how other children have managed to start their own businesses.

There is nothing I really dislike about this book. Adults might not find this book entirely helpful as it covers all the basics but I am sure there is the possibility that you will learn something new by reading this book. The glossary of the different keywords used has also been extremely useful for those of many ages. This book not only teaches you about finance and the basics of the world of business, but this book also has a positive element to it reinforcing the idea that you are capable of anything. 

Altogether, I rate this book 3 stars making it a good book. This book contains a variety of interesting and important facts which I think is important that children learn as soon as they are ready to best prepare them for teenage and adult life where they will be getting more and more involved with money, earning it, spending it and everything in between. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Storey Publishing for providing me with an Advance Reader Copy in return for an honest book review.
