Teaching Your Kids About Money
(It Doesn’t Grow on Trees)
Ages 3-5: Teach kids that money can be exchanged for
things. Explain to them the difference between pennies,
nickels, dimes and quarters.
Ages 5-9: Start giving your kids an allowance. This is
also a good time to explain bank accounts and what it
means when a bank account earns interest.
Ages 9-13: Help them open a savings account.
Encourage your kids to save their allowance
towards a goal. Consider setting up a matching
savings plan like most companies do with a 401(k).
Ages 13-15: Expand your children’s allowance to
include more expensive items. Introduce
entrepreneurship. Encourage your kids to earn
their own money with jobs for neighbors and
friends.
