Did you know that a child’s financial habits are formed by age seven? Teaching them at a young age will help them learn about the importance of money, saving, and spending, and will also affect how they manage their money in the future.
But before you start teaching them how to save, they must know the basics of money and where it comes from.
Put your teaching to the test, and engage in some fun activities with your kids. Who says learning can’t be fun? The best part is, they won’t even realize that you’re teaching them because they’ll be having so much fun!
