"How do our kids learn to manage money? At school? By watching TV? From their friends? By their own mistakes? From watching their parents manage their money? Most kids learn from a combination of all these. But as with every other aspect of education, with the right information and a little commitment, parents and teachers can make a big difference in preparing kids to conquer the many financial challenges they will face as adults.
