[New Release] Today Is the Day to Earn Pocket Money

A Life Story for Elementary Students Experiencing Managing Money Independently After Receiving Allowance for the First Time
Sequel to 'Today is Allowance Day'... Also Challenges Direct Stock Investment with Allowance

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Is there a way for children to manage the precious allowance given by their parents on their own and learn economic principles? An author who worked as a journalist at an economic specialized newspaper for a long time reveals that method through a fairy tale.

The new book is a sequel to the life fairy tale , which depicts a child's experience of receiving allowance for the first time and managing money independently. The book vividly captures the emotions and events that any child receiving allowance for the first time would experience.

The author says, "Knowing only consumption and not production means seeing only half of the economy," and introduces the story of Junho, a third-grade elementary school student, who earns money through production. Junho learns about investment and even challenges himself to invest in stocks with the money he earned. Although he is an elementary student, through this process, he accurately understands production and consumption and properly grasps the value of money.

The book presents what could be a dry economic and financial story in the form of a fairy tale to enhance understanding. There are many fun elements sprinkled throughout the book. The "Calculate It" section shows the calculation formulas for how the final amounts mentioned in the story were derived. The "Think About It" section provides deeper thoughts related to the story, such as why stores hold sales, the truth behind 1+1 promotional products, and three ways to save money. Following that, "Take a Break" delivers the story in a different format from the fairy tale, making the book enjoyable to read. The author says that through this book, readers can understand and study economics as if it were their own story, in an enjoyable way.
