Teaching kids about money is essential. Financial literacy is one of the key skills for a good life – it really can be the difference between a comfortable life with all your needs met or having debt collectors seize your furniture, car, or even your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching our kids about money has always been important to us, because the husband and I were pretty bad at managing money as teens and young adults. We lived week-to-week, got furniture on finance, and had two personal loans for cars (when we could have easily saved up). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took us many years to learn how to have financial freedom – and we knew we wanted our kids to learn the same lessons young, to not waste the time and money we did while learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years we’ve taught our kids what we can about money (my kids could probably recite my ‘credit cards are evil’ rant by heart). They’ve read The Barefoot Investor<\/a> and The Barefoot Investor for Families<\/a>. And we talk about how we manage our money, saving, superannuation, and investing, all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seemed like it was the best we could do, but we felt it wasn’t enough.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we all know, there’s a big gap between talking and actual hands-on learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I came across an online program called MoneyTime<\/strong><\/a> and enrolled all the kids. And the results have been FANTASTIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
