Why Start at an Early Age?

​

It's never too early to start teaching kids about the basics of money management and how financial concepts work in general. Exposing kids to the concept and value of money at an early age can help create a foundation for a successful financial future — one that can be built upon as they continue to go through stages of life that require an understanding of money and how it works.

​

Lacking the skills needed to make informed financial decisions hurts both individuals and the economy. Financial literacy is an important tool to improve the financial capability and stability of our adults, youth and communities. This is why it’s crucial that we start teaching people about money at a young age.

​

When it comes to money, a child’s first instinct is most often to use it to consume something. I have this money, so I should buy something with it. What we do is teach kids that when you come into some money (any amount), there are other options than simply just spending it. And most importantly, we teach them why considering these options is important.

​

Teaching kids about finance at an early age allows them to develop a confident and successful relationship with money. Grasping even the most basic concepts gets kids considering all the available options before making important decisions at all stages in life, improving their chances of achieving self-sufficiency and financial security. 

​

In our current education system, we teach kids how to be physically safe, like the importance of wearing a seatbelt. We teach kids how to be digitally safe, helping them make smart decisions on the internet. But what we don’t teach kids is how to be financially safe, like the dangers of too much debt or the blessing of compound interest. As a result, young people are entering adulthood without the skills and knowledge they need to succeed financially, and it’s costing them.
