The knowledge of budgeting, investing, managing credit cards. We all need it. Yet not everyone has access to learn it.

At Truman Wealth we care deeply about helping people get the most out of their money. And that’s a process that starts with financial education - and the sooner, the better. That’s why we regularly write about topics that encourage you to engage with your kids about money, and make it a regular topic of conversation in your home. Our wealth advisor Ellen Osthus, CFP® recently shared about how she uses their family activities to teach Allie about spending. It’s a great tool that anyone can implement with ease. #familyfinaces #kidsandmoney #personalfinance #financialliteracy

Spotted my little Kennie 'absorbed' in a book about business that she can't even read🤣📚It's moments like these that remind me how crucial early financial education is for our tiny humans. 🌱💰 You may be wondering, 'How can I teach my 4-year-old about finance?' 🤔 Don't worry, you don't have to jump straight into stock portfolios and interest rates! Here's how you can ease them into the subject: 1️⃣ Piggy Bank Magic: Start with a piggy bank and introduce the concept of saving. Better yet, use three jars labeled 'Save', 'Spend', and 'Give' to teach them about budgeting and philanthropy. 🐷💵 2️⃣ Playing Store: Create a mini grocery store at home. Use play money to teach them how buying and selling works. It's not just fun, it's their first glimpse into the world of transactions! 🛒👛 3️⃣ Goal Setting: Kids love toys. Next time they want one, use it as an opportunity to teach them about saving. Help them set a 'savings goal' for that toy and plan how they'll reach it with their allowance or chore money. 🧸🎯 4️⃣ The Value of Work: Use a rewards chart and stickers to represent small amounts of money they can earn by completing chores. It’ll teach them the value of hard work. 🌟🔨 5️⃣ Dinner Table Talk: You'd be surprised how much kids pick up from adult conversations. Make it a habit to discuss basic financial principles during family dinners. 🍽🗨️ 6️⃣ Books & Apps: There are some fantastic children’s books and apps designed to teach financial literacy in a kid-friendly way. Make use of them! 📱📖 Let's give our kids the financial education they don’t teach in schools but should. Because it's not just about setting them up for success, it's about equipping them with the tools to build empires. 🏰💪 Who's with me? 🙋♀️ #TeachingTinyTycoons #FamilyWealthBuilding #MoneyMatters #FinancialAdvisor #Jacksonville
