WAW081: Top Ten Money Lessons for Kids

If you are interested in a 1-on-1 financial coaching session, please contact selfreliantfi@gmail.com to schedule a free consultation. We’re here for you.

Okay, we admit it. Van and Kevin got suckered into clickbait and clicked on an article called "10 Things Kids should know before they're 10" (the title was just so enticing, what can we say?). Rather than just get annoyed that we clicked on it, we decided to make an episode out of it. In this episode, Van and Kevin talk through the article and analyze whether the tips are more theoretical or truly good practice to teach our kids. This is part 2 of the Finance and Kids episode!

WAW081: Top Ten Money Lessons for Kids

We are “A Word About Wealth”, a podcast about delivering financial entertainment by tackling the often complex world of finance.  We subscribe to a simple philosophy - K.I.S.S. it. Keep. It. Simple. Stupid.
 
If you're like us, finance isn't the easiest topic to understand. There is an ocean of financial terms, a bunch of opinions on how to best manage wealth and not enough folks explaining what the heck this all means. 
 
This is why we started A Word About Wealth. We wanted a place where we could talk casually about finance, ask and answer any questions on our mind and keep it simple (stupid). =)
