Financial guidance doesn't start when a kid has his first credit card - it starts when the kid is learning about the values of hard work and a token economy. The earlier you expose your child to learning about money - the better.
In middle class and wealthy households, the topic of money is discussed as frequently as the quintessential question of "what is for dinner". It shouldn't surprise some kids that in addition to their fair share of toys, they will be receiving 100 or maybe 1000 shares of Disney stock or Coca-Cola stock, whatever dad or grandpa fancies. In my household I remember sitting back and listening to my parents talk about CD's maturing. I thought that they were going through something that sounded like menopause.......needless to say.
In this article published in Time Magazine, the writer describes a few important topics that parents should be discussing with their child during some benchmark ages.
My question to you is: What lesson will your child be learning for this year?
