My Review:
Taking the form of a graphic novel, The Golden Quest makes early financial education as much fun as possible by ingeniously incorporating elements of action, adventure, fantasy, suspense and humor into one captivating story. Following their family tradition, a young boy's parents gift him an heirloom map on his birthday and send him off the next day to a quest for the Golden Rules of Money. His quest turns out to be quite an adventure. At each stop, he gets acquainted with someone special - a mysterious monk who loves tea, a foodie dragon who sells roasted marshmallows, a university professor with a funny name and a crazy hairstyle reminiscent of Albert Einstein, just to name a few. Through their conversations and personal stories, the boy learns about how to spend wisely, how to save sufficiently, how to generate a sustainable cash flow, how to give back, and ultimately how to achieve financial freedom.
The book's appealing artwork and intriguing plots allow young readers to understand and memorize the basic concepts and guiding principles about personal finance without being bored or intimated by complex calculations or difficult jargon. I'm a bit surprised to find that weeks after reading the story, my youngest still remembers all the Golden Rules of Money with considerable accuracy. Leaning on ancient wisdom from around the world, the powerful messages embedded in these short rules help lay the foundation for a healthy attitude toward money and wealth. The word "rich" is not to be interpreted in purely monetary terms. A rich life refers to a happy, meaningful and fulfilling life with freedom for what matters most. While wanting more may kill the joy of having more, the act of giving may circle back to the giver someday. Besides, the boy's rapid growth throughout the course of the quest demonstrates the incredible value of kindness, courage, grit and self-control.
Financial literacy can be a lifelong learning process. It's important to give your children a head start with books like The Golden Quest. The valuable lessons within are worth passing on from generation to generation.
