Last week I talked about how to teach your teen about money. Today’s focus will be on teaching older children (~9-12) about money.
I’ve talked several times before about how poorly my parents prepared me to be financially on my own. If my parents had been intentional with money, I would likely have avoided several mistakes I’ve made to date. My parents were not intentional in managing their finances, let alone teaching me about finances. from an early age, I watched my parents do pretty much everything you’re not supposed to do with money, so I spent most of my childhood watching my parents essentially fail at personal finance.
