How Do You Teach Kids the Value of Money?
- JMiao 20y agoI think there is a virtue to not having much of it to begin with. My parents are big believers in saving for rainy days, and we definitely had some rainy days during my childhood (Dad works in aerospace, go figure). I think tough times like these really helped me interactively learn about the value of money. Though I disliked such lessons at the time, I'm learning to appreciate them now that I'm on my own.
- amichail 20y agoI think you can teach kids the value of money by stressing the importance of achieving financial independence early in life.
- dougw 20y agoI am a firm believer that our schools should have a heavy financial component at some point around 9th and 12th grades. The amount of debt that many have these days in their early 20's is outrageous.
