The Chris LoCurto Show 515 | What Your Kids Need To Know About Money

A lot of parents tend to avoid topics like money when teaching their kids.
Some parents may have grown up in a household where talking about it was taboo, and that’s understandable. A lot of people struggle with finances, and so it’s natural to avoid it!
Others may think that children are just too young to learn about investing, savings and spending, or maybe they believe the topic is too complicated to explain to young minds.
Whatever the case, avoiding the topic does NOT set kids up for success in the long run, and it may actually be doing them more harm than good! So, where are we going with this?
My point is, whether you choose to teach your kids about money or not, they will learn it from someone. And that brings us to our guest on the show today, Paige Cornetet.
Paige grew up in a home that didn’t just explain “tough” concepts like money management to their children, they immersed them in it, as her latest book My Dad’s Class explains.
The eldest of four, Paige is passionate about helping parents teach children imperative life skills and financial management techniques. She lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her husband.
We had a blast talking through her book and family dynamics, as well as discussing her tools designed for parents to introduce money topics to children, the Spend Then series.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did, and I think you’ll definitely take something valuable away from it.
Grace and peace,
Chris
