For your kids and grandkids
August 22, 2011
As Dad to a now 4 year old Oliver and 1 year old Elise, I think about how I will instill the value of a dollar to my kids as my parents successfully did for me. So, I’m always on the lookout for tools and ways to help. I wanted to share this article with you http://yourfamilyfinances.com/2011/08/03/teaching-children-the-importance-of-money/ so that you can use these techniques and lessons with your kids or grandkids. I also picked this book http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Brock-Savings-Shock-Sheila/dp/080757094X up at the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank when I was there for a conference on Recognizing Risk in Global Agriculture. I have read it to Oliver several times and he seems to enjoy it and is starting to learn wants vs. needs. It is never too early to start teaching the ideas and principles of building and maintaining wealth, it certainly can help preserve a legacy that you have worked and saved and invested for during your lifetime.
