#80: Teaching kids about money isn’t easy, but it’s crucial if you want to boot them off your payroll after they graduate from school.But while financial literacy is good, helping your kids build the mindset and momentum to achieve financial independence is even better.It requires that they internalize (and value) aggressive saving, investing, and compounding…not just living within their means.That’s why I was so excited to chat this week with Doug Nordman and Carol Pittner, father and daughter co-authors of a new book on how to teach next-generation financial independence.We discuss:Why it’s important to let kids make their own financial choices (and mistakes) when the stakes are lowWhy letting your kids buy “One Special Thing” per shopping trip is an effective teaching strategyWhy you might want to pay your kids for jobs, but not chores…and the difference between the twoWhy it might not be a good idea to pay your kids for getting good grades, and what you can do insteadWhy “profit sharing” is an especially powerful strategy to teach kids about savings and frugalityHow to create a “kid 401k” to teach your kid lasting lessons about compounding and long-term investingHow to incentivize your kid to contribute to a Roth IRA early onHow to handle the question of “how rich are we?”Check it out here:https://hackyourwealth.com/teaching-kids-about-money-financial-independenceWhat strategies do you use to teach your kids about saving, investing, and compounding?
