Raising Money-Smart Kids
How to Teach Your Children About Money, Work, and Real Life — Before the World Does It for Them
Your kids are going to learn about money from someone. The only question is whether it's you — or the credit card companies, the social media feeds, and the buy-now-pay-later apps already lining up to teach them.
Think back to what your own parents taught you about money. For most people, the honest answer is somewhere between "almost nothing" and "a few vague warnings about credit cards." So you learned the hard way — through overdraft fees, a car loan you should never have signed, and the slow realization in your late twenties that nobody was coming to save you.
You have a choice your parents probably never consciously made: teach your children about money on purpose, or let the world do it for you. And the world's lesson plan is built to profit from financial silence.
