This book does not provide technical know-how on investing or saving money. Instead, it focuses on how parents should talk to their children about money. It distills the essence of money, the meaning of work, and the importance of having choices in life.

Even before its release, the book attracted significant attention, particularly among parents raising children, leading to an additional printing decision prior to the publication of the first edition.

About the Book

Written by Masahiro Horie, a father who once faced financial hardship in his youth and was forced to give up what he loved, this book is rooted in his firsthand experience of losing life choices due to lack of money.

Rather than simply teaching children how to save money, the book addresses fundamental questions such as why money is necessary, what role it plays in life, and how it can be used to make choices with fewer regrets. These ideas are presented in words that can be naturally shared within the family.

The book offers a clear perspective: money is a tool to expand one’s options in life, responding directly to the anxieties about the future and education felt by today’s parents.
