This week on She Talks Money, we're talking about one of the most important subjects most of us never learned in school: financial literacy.

If we want our kids to grow up with confidence around money, we can't wait for the education system to teach them. We have to create those lessons at home through real experiences and conversations.

In this episode, I share seven practical ways to teach kids ages 5–17 about earning, saving, investing, giving, and making thoughtful spending decisions. From summer earning challenges and ”spend, save, give” jars to teaching opportunity cost and showing them that money can make money, these simple lessons can have a lifelong impact.

Because money isn't something to fear or avoid talking about. It's a tool—and when kids understand how to use it well, they gain options, freedom, and the ability to make a difference in the lives of others.

Tune in for practical ideas to help raise financially confident kids and create healthy money conversations at home.
