Book Review: Three Cups
Three Cups is a new children's book for families wishing to educate their children or grandchildren with sound money management skills. Envisioned by Tony Townsley, CPA, and dedicated Father, this book taps into the insight and ultimate responsibility of parenting (and grandparenting) to the future success and happiness of today's children.
Your grandchildren will enjoy the story written by Mark St. Germain, and touched by the illustrations of award-winning painter April Willy. While the topic of money often opens up worlds of creative wonder in youngsters, they will also be introduced to a simple system for disciplined financial habits.
If your child is soon to be ready for a weekly allowance and you are wondering how to get them off on the right start...please buy this book today. For a modest investment today, the potential return as measured in a lifetime of sound money habits for your grandchild are incredible.
Imagine YOUR life all over again with a clear and simple money system in your hands at the tender age of 5...how might your life be different today?
Amazingly, money is very often a taboo topic in the public educational system. And, obtaining a college degree is no guarantee your grandchild has been exposed to the practical skills needed to manage money wisely. Which leaves it up to parents to seek and implement their own educational tools...
Note: the book and the lesson requires an equally important commitment from the parents or grandparents. For it is likely that some of us could also benefit from the simple lessons Three Cups provides.
Are you prepared to find the deeper meaning in a short childrens' story?
Regardless of whether you are a financial wizard or struggling with money yourself, you absolutely CAN and MUST teach your children positive money habits.
Savings. Spending. Charity.
Three Cups tells the story of a five-old boy who is introduced to these simple concepts. At first, the boy is somewhat disappointed in his gift of three cups which he must divy up his weekly allowance. But through the guidance from the boy's parents who teach their son how each Cup works in practice...new understanding open up for their young boy.
From collecting money in his Savings cup to eventually opening up a savings account at the local bank, the son learns the most important lesson of setting aside money.
On the lesson of spending, the parents instill the proper discipline to live within your means, and to accumulate earnings until that special purchase is within reach.
And by encouraging the boy to set aside money for others, his creative juices are engaged to identify how his money might help others who are in need.
With the simple yet genius story of Three Cups, one would be right to surmise the young boy has gained sound financial habits that will serve him well for all his days.
Less obvious, but equally rewarding is the lesson for parents everywhere. In presenting the story of Three Cups, Tony Townsley has converted a real-life family lesson of money management into an example for others to model. Passing on life wisdom and experience to the benefit of future generations is the basis of many great legacies.
Three (empty) Cups indeed leaves a legacy.
