Lucas Remmerswaal is a man on a mission - a mission to change the way a whole generation approaches its finances.
But how does a Whangarei investment adviser and father-of-six plan on doing that? By writing children's books inspired by the ideas and principles of American billionaire investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett - the world's third wealthiest man.
Remmerswaal is in the process of producing an illustrated book for five-year-olds, another for 12 year-olds and a teaching aid for parents and teachers.
The books, both titled The 13 habits that made me $48 billion, inspired by Warren Buffett, have been illustrated by Australian artist Annette Lodge, who has published a number of her own children's books.
Remmerswaal says he has invested $64,000 in the project so far.
