Most kids under the age of 17 really don’t understand money or budgets, but it’s so important to start teaching them about this stuff early. So today I’ve got Benny Nachman, CEO of Jassby family finance app, on the show to share his expertise in finance, as well as his insight for helping kids understand money. We will be unpacking why parents often don’t talk to their kids about money and how you can help to educate your kids early so that they make wise decisions as they grow up.
It can get daunting when trying to get kids to save their money (for you and them), but Benny and I will cover how to teach children more about the rewards of saving so it makes sense to them. You will also learn how Benny’s app aims to connect parents, grandparents, and kids into one financial eco-system where they can learn to manage money wisely. Listen in to discover how financial literacy applies to kids and all kinds of things you can do right now to start setting your children up to understand money and how it works.
