A Parent’s Guide to Teaching Children About Money
Daniel Perez wrote this.

Being a parent involves more than just raising kids. You are raising future leaders, entrepreneurs, and stewards of wealth.

Financial literacy, in our opinion at CJ Investments, is a family tradition. In addition to preparing children for success, financial education is one of the most effective means of generating wealth for future generations.

Why It’s Important to Teach Children About Money

The majority of schools do not teach practical finance. This implies that parents are responsible for bridging the gap.

Early financial literacy in children leads to:

Gain self-assurance and decision-making abilities.
Steer clear of financial traps and unsafe spending patterns.
Grow up independent rather than reliant, and parents who engage their children in meaningful financial discussions fortify family values and establish enduring trust.

1. Get started early, even if it’s just a little.

Talking about money doesn’t have to wait until your children are teenagers. Make use of basic, age-appropriate equipment:

A savings piggybank
A system of jars for gifting, spending, and saving
A modest stipend in return for obligations
The objective is to normalize discussing money in your home, not to overwhelm.

2. Use Your Business to Pay Your Children (The Smart Way)
You can lawfully employ your kids to work in actual jobs and teach them about money if you own a business.

Here’s the proper way to accomplish it:

They must carry out proper duties (such as content development, packing, and filing).
Give them a fair compensation depending on the market.
Maintain accurate time and payment records.
Certain payroll taxes may not apply to children under the age of 18 who work for a parent’s LLC or sole proprietorship. Additionally, they can open a Roth ATO with their earned money, which will give them a huge advantage in becoming financially independent.

3. Make money a priority for the family.
The most impactful teachings are lived rather than merely preached.

Establish a common vision and financial clarity culture by:

arranging frequent meetings for family finance
Allowing children to make age-appropriate financial decisions
Being open and honest about your financial successes and failures
Perfection is not the point here. It has to do with education and connection.

4. Align Funds with Mission, Not Just Profit
Our clients learn how to relate their wealth to their soul’s purpose. The same is true for children.

Encourage your kids to:

Contribute a portion of their income to worthy charities and save money for their own objectives.
Examine the ways in which their hobbies can bring in money.
As a result, money becomes a tool for more than just consumption.

5. Make Long-Term Legacy Plans
A larger wealth structure includes financial education. Teach your kids to interact with wealth now if you want them to prosper with it in the future.

We assist families at CJ Investiments:

Wealth is passed down through the generations in this way.
