How do you teach your kids about money? A recent survey from Thriving Wallet found that 90% of Americans say money impacts their stress level. How do we change this? It starts by raising kids comfortable with money and giving them the tools to make smart money decisions. Our guest, Adam Carroll, a renowned financial literacy expert, celebrated author, and captivating speaker who has delivered over 1,000 speaking engagements worldwide and has a Ted Talk with over 6 million views, has some ideas on how to teach your kids about money that will change everything for you and your kids. He believes it starts with getting cash in your kid's hands when they are five or six. Give them a dollar per year of their age per week and have them start making money decisions with that money. But there’s a bigger piece here that most of us didn’t understand when we were kids. How you as parents talk about money, interact with money, or don’t talk about money directly impacts your kid's relationship with money growing up and is at the root of how they spend and save money. It’s programmed into us as kids. So, to raise kids who are smart with money, Adam says, you have to be aware of how you, as the parent, interact with money.
