Kids and Money: Having the Money Talk | POF189

Parenting Our Future

This is one “talk” we can’t avoid…The Money Talk! Things have changed so much about the way we interact with money (who even carries cash anymore!?). What is money anyway? Is it bitcoin, crypto currency or is money still money? What is inflation? What is Shrinkflation?

We are talking about all things money so your kids can have a healthy understanding of what it is, and how to use it wisely. My guest Robin Taub, who is an expert on all things money, is breaking it down for us in the most non-boring way! We talk about what “financial literacy” is (the knowledge skills and confidence to make financial decisions at every stage of life) and how it’s the key to economic growth and prosperity and allows you to make sound financial decisions and grow your money, not be caught in too much debt.

What impression do your kids have of your finances? Do they think that you have a bottomless pit of money somewhere? Do they get the impression you have no money? Is the topic taboo in your household?

If you feel lost, you aren’t alone! Robin Taub is so knowledgeable on this topic and helps you to break it down into 5 main pillars that starts with “Earn” and is followed by save, spend, share, and invest.

One thing that Robin said in this episode, is that you want to start talking about money when your kids are young, so they can make mistakes when the stakes are low. That really resonated with me.
