Kids and Money

How do you teach kids about money? They certainly don’t learn anything about it in schools. And maybe that’s all for the better since it should be the parent’s responsibility. I recently gave a merit badge course for my son’s scout troop on financial management to a group of 13 and 14 year olds. Most of them knew nothing about managing money.
Getting Rich Slowly has some good thoughts and lots of link with more information. Read it here: How do you teach Kids the Value of Money.
Teaching kids how to manage money is a major challenge. I believe that if yo can give kids financial lessons that are fun and meaningful they will be financially savvy adults. Try some of the financial education activities at http://www.finance-4-kids.com/Education.htm
