When we have financial struggles, kids are so much more aware of things than we want them to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know for years, I've heard financial experts stress the importance of teaching your kids about money, but it wasn't until I saw my own son's perspective change that I became a true believer.
It is critical that kids start to learn the value of money, short-term and long-term saving and budgeting at an early age.
If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.
When you have a kid, money matters.
The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.
You know, we have a fiscal train wreck before us. And unless we act, and act deliberately, we're not going to enable our kids to have what we have. It's plain and simple as that.
I would say that kids are great in many ways, because I think that we are less hampered when it comes to 'this costs too much' or 'that's impossible'.
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
You have to teach children about money intentionally - create teachable moments.
One of my concerns for my children is growing up with your parents having a lot of money.
