Teach Your Child Financial Planning


Here’s a common scenario: your child must have that next greatest thing, and the time in between birthdays and holidays seems like an eternity! They may have some spending money earned from an allowance or a job which, undoubtedly, is burning a hole in their pocket. Now’s a great time to teach your child about spending, saving, making purchases on credit and why their financial future depends on these choices.

Educating your child about smart spending from the get-go will set them up to be conscientious money managers later in life. A few important lessons to bestow are how to create and stick to a budget, planning for the unexpected and spending wisely. And when covering credit, things like interest, monthly payments, credit score and debt are key.
