Jacobs' Book Serves as Resource for Parents to Educate Children about Financial Planning

2011-03-12

LAHASKA, PA, March 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) Sheila Jacobs, personal finance expert, Certified Financial Planner and CEO of Life & Money Consulting, recently published her first children's book Jake Saves the Day. The book focuses on teaching children to share and save for the future. Though the topic is serious, families will enjoy following a loveable pig, Jake, Farmer George and their barnyard friends as they embark on everyday adventures that will teach readers valuable life lessons.

According to Jacobs, also author of Life & Money, a personal financial management workbook and guide, "It's important to educate children and adults about smart financial practices but with Jake, I also hope to facilitate a conversation between parents and children. Part of my role as a mother of two young children is to educate them about the importance of saving, planning for the future and spending wisely, especially in today's economic climate. My goal in writing this book is to start what I hope will be a lifelong dialog about smart money management for my family and others."

Jake Saves the Day can be purchased at Amazon.com for $11.99. Other books from Jacobs' children's book series, including Jake Earns a Treat are available on Amazon.com as well.

The themes of planning for the future and keeping financial goals top of mind reinforced throughout Jake Saves the Day serve as the bedrock of Life & Money Consulting. Jacobs' Bucks County, Pa. business is dedicated to helping individuals better understand financial management. Life & Money Consulting provides speaker services, mentoring, and financial training including goal-setting, expense tracking and budgeting; next generation education; and team building for couples.
