With A Title Like How To Be Richer Than Your Parents You Should Assume To Skip It

Another very dubious book on financial literacy for kids, How To Be Richer Than Your Parents: Financial Literacy For Kids: Smart Saving, Clever Spending and Achieve Big Dreams by Sofista Kidson. The title very plainly is suggesting, kids your aren’t so great you can do better, you know more than them. First of all as a parent, I am definitely not buying a book for my kids that suggests they shouldn’t listen to me. Parents, yes you need to have good money skills and you should make an effort to pass those skills, or teach those skills to your kids. But this book ain’t gonna give it to you, or to them.

Just reading through the sample this definitely sounds as if it might have been mostly written by AI. The book is supposed to be an introduction, but within the first couple pages the author is discussing some pretty complicated topics with only a short paragraph such as supply and demand, inflation, economics, cryptocurrency. He throws in the word magic a few times.

This one does not pass the sniff test.
