Dear Kid$ The Abridged Edition By Scott Gardner

The Same Book.
Forty Percent Shorter.

DEAR KID$ runs a little over four hundred pages. This edition is roughly forty percent shorter — 226 pages across twenty-seven chapters, most of them a ten- to fifteen-minute read. It is for the reader who wants the ideas without setting aside a month to get to them.

What came out was the scaffolding: the repeated explanations, the studies and sources behind each point, the glossary, the reading list, and the resource lists at the back. What stayed is the heart of it — the stories and the principles. No argument was softened, and no new one was added. Every idea in this edition is in the original.

The four-part arc is unchanged: the Ten Pillars of Wealth, developing a wealth mindset, building the Wealth-Building Machine, and the investments that outlast a balance sheet. It comes with the same free worksheets below.
