Have you talked to your children about money?
The sad truth is that kids as young as two years of age are enticed to want this, want that – it’s the wily little “Want Monsta” and he is really good at making us want more than we need or can afford.
It’s hard to teach children real-life skills about spending and saving…but it will be harder later if they don’t learn! After all, money does NOT grow on trees…
There are several different strategies parents can use to educate their children about personal finance - how to budget, how to save, how to consider the cost of tax, etc. But what about the theatre? Have you ever considered taking your children to a puppet show, where they can learn about personal finance while belly laughing?
Debbie Todd is the co-founder of Ruby’s Troupe, an innovative interactive live and online theatre education group. A licensed CPA and certified financial education instructor with over 36,000 hours dedicated to “smart money” activities, Debbie is a spunky Grandma who is passionate about helping children defeat the Want Monsta and become Smart Money Commanders.
Debbie joins us on the show to share how Ruby's Troupe is creating a whole new generation of personal finance savvy youngsters, as well as why we should educate our children about money sooner than later.
