How To Teach Your Kids the Value of Money

Over the years I’ve witnessed the offspring of many friends and relatives display an inability to handle money. The number of youngsters I’ve known that grew to adulthood without the ability to make regular payments on their home mortgage, pay their credit card bills without incurring interest and penalties, or even balance a checkbook, is frightening.

Whatever praise or criticism you may direct at the American public school system, one thing must be acknowledged: The handling of personal finances is not a subject to which much attention is devoted. Whatever the average American knows about monetary matters did not come from the classroom. This is understandable, of course, if only because the typical classroom teacher is equally mystified by the world of money. It’s for this reason I’m convinced that a child’s indoctrination into financial matters must be rooted at home.
