      About The Author

      Tiffany Tang was a former Financial Controller for INTI Education Group, Malaysia (part of Laureate International Universities, United States of America). Previously, she worked as a Regional Accountant and had been in several countries such as Singapore, China, South Korea, India, and Japan. She’d also worked for a few large multinational companies in the retail, bulk logistics, computer hardware, and civil engineering industries.

      In total, Tiffany has more than 15 years of working experience. She holds an Honours degree in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University, UK and is a member of the Institute of Financial Accountants, UK.

      While she was traveling around the region, she realized that many young people did not learn to manage money wisely and choose to live on ‘easy’ credit.  This is happening all over the world. Tiffany’s vision is for a society in which all children and young people have the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage their money well, now and in the future.

      Foreword

      When should you start learning about money? The sooner you start, the better! Financial Intelligence for Kids is written to help you master your money. Money and finances can be complicated, but this book makes it easy with easy to understand concepts.

      It starts at the beginning with money. Everyone knows what it is, but they don’t always know from where it came and how it work? This guide will show you that and a whole lot more.

      I will tell many stories so you can understand the money concepts that will help you to achieve your hopes and dreams. That way, you can do the things you really want to do and live how you want to live.

      To the parent

      The attitude of people in the past about teaching kids about finance has been: Oh, they’ll learn about that later, but the later never came along for a lot of people and they graduated from school never knowing anything about money and finances, even though they were very well educated in other areas of their lives.

      Children encounter money earlier and earlier in life. Not knowing how to manage their money will put them at a disadvantage, which can potentially lead them into credit card debts, uncontrollable spending, and under-accumulation of wealth.

      This book is as much written for parents as for kids. Although this book is written in a kids-friendly style so kids can work independently through it, I encourage you to discuss the material in this book together with your child.

      My personal vision is for a society in which all children have the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage their money well, now and in the future. To fulfil this vision, I’m dedicated to supporting parents in giving their children the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage money. This book is the outcome of that vision.

      To your prosperity and happiness,

      Tiffany Tang
