530: Introducing Kids to Financial Liter...

HAL ELROD
About this episode

Since April is National Financial Literacy Month, the timing couldn't be better to have this conversation with Julia Cook, whose children's books have sold over 3 million copies. Her latest book, I Am Money, helps children understand the value of money in fun and creative ways. I just gifted a copy to my nieces yesterday! 😊

Today, Julia shares the four key lessons every child needs to learn about money, and you'll see that talking to your kids about money doesn't need to be a chore. It's a fantastic opportunity to help your kids understand how to create value, how to manage their funds wisely, and set them on a path of financial independence. 

Most importantly, they'll learn how to save and spend their money and use their wealth to positively impact the world around them. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Teach kids to do the right thing when no one's watching
  • Teaching your kids about money starts with fixing your own money habits
  • How to show your kids they can trust you entirely
  • Why unexpected opportunities can lead to the greatest breakthroughs
  • Happiness is being able to share what you earned
