Can Grandparents Do This?

Hi Scott,

I ordered three copies of your book, one for each of my adult children, but I am worried they will be too busy to get time to read it. For my grandkids’ sake I really want them to actually do it! So my question is, is this something we should do as grandparents, or do you have another idea?

Hi Barbara,

I’d say you have three options:

First, you can do it with your grandkids. Why not? It may well grow into a special bond that you create with them.

Second, you can read the book and break it down for your time-poor adult kids so that it’s really easy (all they need to get started is three jam jars and a scoreboard (you can print from my website ‒ www.barefootinvestor.com/resources ‒ for free). Then you can casually skip to Chapter 3: The Grandparents’ Dinner Party and introduce them to the concept of the Barefoot Money Meals while you’re enjoying your grandkids’ cooking!

Third, you can get them (your adult children, I mean) the audiobook and ask them to play it when they’re in the car.

Here’s to changing your family tree!
