Financial literacy starts at home, but teaching kids can be challenging when they develop an abundance mindset and spend everything they make. We explore effective strategies for engaging young people with money concepts by connecting to their existing interests rather than lecturing them about financial terms.
• Growing up around money doesn't automatically create financial literacy
• Sharing personal stories of financial mindsets—from abundance to scarcity
• Making financial concepts relevant by starting with what kids already care about
• Demonstrating compound interest visually as "free time" gained by investing early
• Finding personal motivation in finance that resonates
• Creating games and experiences that make financial literacy engaging for young minds
• Connecting investment growth to ownership of companies kids recognize
If you have strategies that worked with your children or teenagers, please share them in the YouTube comments or join our free Root Collective community where we discuss topics like this one.
