Teaching children about money
Giving children practical exposure to earning, spending, saving and waiting, at an age-appropriate scale. Financial habits form early, and they are learned by watching far more than by being told.
What it means
Giving children practical exposure to earning, spending, saving and waiting, at an age-appropriate scale.
Why it matters to a household
Financial habits form early, and they are learned by watching far more than by being told.
Where it trips people up
Shielding children from every financial conversation, which produces adults who find money conversations uncomfortable.
In an Indian household
Involving older children in the family budget — the real one, at a level they can follow — teaches more than any allowance system.
