ABOUT MONEY

How to

TEACH YOUR KIDS

DON’T WAIT, START TODAY!

Earning, saving, spending, and giving away money aren’t just concepts for adults. Kids need to learn about managing money, too.

Turn their interests into opportunities to earn.

EARNING MONEY

If your son is a budding artist, encourage him to host an art sale in your living room for family and friends.

Show them the importance of saving, and the power of compounding interest.

SAVING MONEY

Help your son or daughter set a savings goal tied to something they really want. Each month, pay interest on the amount they’ve saved to demonstrate how interest can help them meet their goals.

Earning, saving, spending, and giving away money aren’t just concepts for adults. Kids need to learn about managing money, too.

Turn trips to the store into lessons in value shopping.

SPENDINGRESPONSIBLY

Clip coupons each weekend with your son or daughter. Then let them cash in part of the savings to buy their favorite treat at the grocery store.

Lead by example when it comes to teaching your kids to be generous with their money.

GIVING

If your daughter is an animal lover, encourage her to give a portion of her allowance and earnings to the local zoo by offering to match the amount she chooses to give.

These �rst steps may be small, but starting early will give your kids the foundation they’ll need to make smart �nancial decisions for the rest of their lives.
