🧠 Teenagers + Money = Lessons That Stick 💡
One day, you realize that your teen looks JUST LIKE his dad did at that age! Mind blowing!
But looks aren't the only inherited trait that kids can get from their parents. If you think your teenager isn’t watching how you manage money… think again. They notice when you choose to save instead of splurge. They hear how you talk about debt, bills, goals, and financial stress. And more importantly—they’re forming their own money mindset based on YOU.
With our teenagers, we’ve made it a point to:
Talk openly about financial wins and setbacks
Involve them in real-life budgeting choices
Show the importance of earning before spending
These years aren’t just for tests and extracurriculars—they're prime time for building financial confidence and understanding. Because when they leave the nest, their money habits come with them.
📚 Let’s raise teens who know the value of a dollar—and the freedom that smart money habits bring.
