Here are some things you can do to teach practical money skills to your children.
Nashville, Ark. – Chances are your household budget is taking a hit now that school has started. Locker fees, club fees, new school clothes, school supplies, the list can go on and on. The thought, “my children think I am made of money” or “my children think money grows on trees” has probably crossed your mind the last few days. How can parents teach their children about financial management? Teaching practical money skills can sometimes be a challenge for parents. Here are some things you can do.
Let’s face it. Times are tough for everyone. Necessary items such as groceries and fuel to operate vehicles cost more now than ever before. By teaching children at an early age how to manage finances, they will be better prepared to face these challenges when they become an adult.
For more information about financial matters, contact the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture in Howard County by visiting our office located on the second floor of the courthouse or by calling our office at 870-845-7517.
