Ron Lieber: The Opposite of Spoiled (Part 3 of 3)

“Spoiled kids aren’t born; they’re made,” points out Ron Lieber—author of The Opposite of Spoiled—in this three-part video series. Lieber, who writes the popular “Your Money” column for the New York Times, has made a career out of teaching his readers how to become “unprofitable customers,” as he describes it. But becoming a parent, and fielding frank questions about money from his young daughter, made Lieber realize that children were being left out of the conversation. In both the book and the videos, Lieber advocates for an honest and open approach to discussing money with kids, and offers a wealth of tips and strategies for how parents can cultivate perseverance, patience and thrift in their children.
