Ep. 205 How to Raise Money-Smart Kids: Kelly Lee & The Little Economists

What if your toddler could grasp the value of money before they even enter kindergarten? In this episode, we sit down with Kelly Lee, author and illustrator of the Little Economists series—a set of children's books designed to teach financial literacy in a fun, engaging way.

Kelly shares her journey from Ivy League computer science major to quantitative trader to children's book creator, and why she believes financial education should start the moment a child sees you swipe your card at the store. We talk about how to make complex concepts like saving, spending, and investing relatable to kids, and how parents and caregivers can start meaningful money conversations early.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just passionate about financial education, this conversation will change the way you think about kids and money.
