Our rapidly changing world has become focused on the here and now and on instant gratification. Increasingly less focus is being placed on preparing for tomorrow. The ability to plan and save for what we want appears to be a thing of the past. This attitude needs to change and we adults must do all we can to encourage young people to start planning for their financial future. Teaching them to have more patience and to save their money rather than spending it is essential for long term prosperity.

The way we earn money is changing too. As the world’s population swells, more people are looking for jobs and corporate structures are crumbling under their own weight. It’s time to encourage the following generations to become more flexible and self-sufficient, whether that means going where the work is or creating their own businesses and managing their own flow of income.

Since time immemorial, stories have been used to help educate future generations. It’s now time to tell a compelling new story that teaches financial lessons essential for today’s youth.

Quest for Riches takes some of the longstanding money principles and many of my insights and life experiences and incorporates them into a book that’s not only a great story but plants the seeds to a sound understanding of one’s own relationship with money.

Discover the four ‘money types’ as teenagers Toni, Eric, Jackson and Brooke attempt
to raise funds for a school-organised trip to India. They get there, one way or
another, and are stimulated, overwhelmed, discomfited and delighted by this ancient, vibrant, exotic land.

In addition to some general money management skills such as saving, spending and investing, there are lessons in Quest for Riches that help to determine one’s values, beliefs and inherited family patterns relative to money. Quest for Riches teaches how our personality impacts our relationship with money and our ability to create wealth and explores the all-important money ‘drivers’.

Read the highly informative and entertaining Quest for Riches purely as a story and learn some useful stuff incidentally, or read it as a text and be entertained as you go. Either way, you’ll find tips about money management and gaining financial acumen to help you grow your wealth as you take a fascinating journey through India’s timeless land.

Quest for Riches deserves an important place in our schools’ curriculum. No one is teaching this vital and much ignored information. With money mind-set related questions at the end of each chapter, Quest for Riches is not just a book but a course in itself… the fact that it is written in manageable English is a bonus
