How do I pay the monthly subscription?

Your monthly subscription amount will be deducted automatically from your chosen credit card or bank account.

How secure is your payment processing?

Payments are processed through 2 Checkout for US dollars, and PayFlow Pro (Verisign) for Australian dollars. Both providers offer totally secure payment processing, and you can visit their websites for the detail of how this is achieved.

How do I know my child is mature enough to do this program?

This program is designed for children of school age. The concepts are offered at different levels of complexity, to cater for younger and older children. You may find value in repeating classes with your child two or three years later if he or she starts on the program aged 6-9, expanding the discussion to include the points for older children as well.

However, the basic concepts about money and business can be readily understood by any child who is mature enough to go to school.

Why do you need my email address?

Each week you will be sent a link to your eClass, and any announcements to members will be sent by email. From time to time, we email useful information about teaching children money and business, over and above what is contained in the regular eClasses.

Your email address is held in strictest privacy, and will not be released to any third party for any reason whatsoever unless required by law. You will most certainly not be subjected to spam as a result of your Cash-Smart Kids membership!

I’m not confident about teaching some of these topics myself – where can I find help?

Teaching someone else can be a great incentive to brush up one’s own skills!

We recommend that you read books like Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Michael Gerber’s The E Myth. Check out our bookshop for the full selection (coming soon).

Playing Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow 101 game is a great way to reinforce basic personal financial principles, and classic games like Monopoly and Stock Market are good for learning about property and shares respectively.

When it comes to teaching your own child, you are already an expert. You have been explaining the ways of the world to them since they learned to talk, and maybe even longer. If you think if this as no different from any other skill, you will find ways to express money ideas to your child in a way that makes sense to them.
