Born in Michigan and raised on a two farms in Michigan and Oregon, Elisabeth Donati learned how to do just about everything from her parents...except what to do with money. Teaching herself how to save and invest in her 30's led to a passionate new career teaching kids and teens about money and investing (and other important things about life) in a way that was engaging, experiential and way too much fun. Elisabeth is the owner of Creative Wealth International and creator of the innovative financial education programs The Money Game, Camp Millionaire and Moving Out! for Teens. She was also the 2010 Financial Educator of the Year Award from the National Financial Educators Council. She's trained people all over the globe to empower kids and teens to be responsible for themselves and their families while, just as importantly, making a difference in the lives of others and the world. In addition to Money...The Instruction Manual, Elisabeth is the author of The Ultimate Allowance and The Money Jars: Your Magical Money Management System, and the co-author of The Financial Wisdom Coloring Book for Kids and Parents and Rocks to Riches, an exciting kids financial adventure based on Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. One of Elisabeth's favorite things is inviting people of all ages to think differently about about money, and life. You can learn more by going to www.creativewealthintl.org.
