How To Make Time To Talk To Your Kids About Money

A great time to talk about money is around the dinner table, if your family is blessed enough to eat together at least once a week. Some things you can discuss are how you are budgeting your money, and what kids are spending/saving if they get allowance/gifts/have an after school job. If you are not yet comfortable talking about your own finances, you can discuss hypotheticals such as if you have x dollars, would you spend it on this or that.

Other examples of good times to talk to your kids: when you are getting money at the atm or shopping at the grocery store, if the surroundings are safe of course.

Other examples can be when you are paying bills or sitting at a red light/going through a drive through when idling/sitting in traffic (when not moving of course. *Pay attention to your surroundings, other drivers, and the road first. Drive responsibly). You can get creative and do things like taking your kids for ice cream and discussing it there. Please let me know where and how you like, or would like, to discuss money with your kids.
