We want to help parents from around the country teach their children simple but powerful lessons about money and success. We will begin by writing a book and we would like your input.

The book will be a collection of stories and ideas that have worked for families around the country as they try to teach their children some important concepts.

Do you have any positive experiences, good advice, or helpful stories that might enrich the lives of the readers? Have you taught your children a good lesson about money or success that others could benefit from? Did your parents teach you a valuable lesson that you'd like to share? If so, we'd love to hear it and we may include it in our book.

Please take a few moments to give us your input. Your submission may be edited for continuity but your idea will not be altered. Submitters will not be compensated; however, if your submission is chosen, your name can appear with your story. You could become a published author!

Feel free to include as many or as few examples as you like. Two sample stories are on the 'sample stories' page. Please don't worry about your submission being perfect. We don't want this to take a great deal of your time. We'll edit each entry and contact you if we have any questions.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you at your convenience. We invite you to share our request with others. The more stories and tips we gather, the better and more helpful the book will be!

There are two ways to submit your story.

  1. Send an email to kidsandmoney@gmail.com.
  2. Call 1-270-569-9390 and leave a voicemail.

We hope that you will help us spread the word and gather more stories by telling others about this important project. Together, we can make a major impact on the next generation as well as make our own lives a little easier as we strive to teach our children and grandchildren.


With gratitude,

Wendy Green & Martin Hurlburt
