Publisher's Summary

Discover the 10 things your kids need to know about money before they leave home.

Forget chore charts, guesswork and parenting guilt: you won't find any of that in this road map for raising hard-working, generous and financially confident kids of all ages. In the same easy-to-listen style that made The Barefoot Investor a phenomenal success, Barefoot Investor for Families, first published in 2018, is aimed at parents who want to teach their kids the value of a buck.

Scott Pape has taken the 10 money milestones kids need to nail and laid them out for you in a simple, step-by-step plan. Over the course of 10 hilarious, poignant and sometimes downright crazy 'Barefoot Money Meals', you'll get the skinny on:

  • The simple pocket money strategy that takes just three minutes a week
  • The kitchen challenge that 'breaks the brat' and shows kids how good they've got it
  • Helping your teen land their first job (even with zero experience)
  • The $453,329 gift to your child that won't cost you a cent
  • How to boost your kids into the property market with the 'Barefoot Ladder' strategy

Along the way, you'll meet proud families from all walks of life who have used this exact plan to give their kids life-changing money skills. If you're a parent, grandparent, uncle, aunty, or have children in your life, whether they're two or 22, it's never too early or too late to start.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Not a one star, one hit wonder

Someone on Amazon left a one star review for this book because the text was too small on their device. Giving one star for a book because Amazon didn't format it well is like giving one star to a movie because your drink didn't fit into the cup holder armrest. Scott's saying, about doing your job if you want to get paid is sadly lost on these people because heaven forbid they actually have to do something different to get the information they so desperately need! Thank goodness for Audiobooks.


The kids and I are listening to this easygoing audiobook in the car for the second time. My husband is in it for the first time. highly recommend this. If you have his last book, never fear, there is lots of new info here and great ways to make this family friendly for all those different families out there.


Scott, you are quite frankly, a champ. Thank you so much for all your advice.

Good advice for parents..

Thanks for the awesome new ideas.. However I disagree on your advice for employing kids at such a young age.. May be I am wrong and you have a point.. Best wishes for your next book.. Cheers

Good financial advice for my family

I don’t have a financial plan and have spent my life spending every single cent I’ve earned. This is a real eye opener for me and my kids.

Great book!

We listened to most of this book with our children. I think it’s a great way for them to hear things from someone other than us.

Financial counsel with LOLs

This is our second read of Scott’s, we have read and continue to reference the hard cover of ‘Bare foot Investor’, which continues to be the centre piece of our Home... Love that there’s soo many Laugh out Loud and real life lessons that we can relate too in his writing! I only wish I had known these things before blatantly spending debt riddled Credit 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks for showing us how to break free!!
