Money-Smart Kids

As a parent you want the best for your kids. You work hard to provide every advantage you can. You want them to be safe, smart and healthy. Yet, when it comes to money, it's a whole different story. If you're like most people, you'd rather run a mile through a desert with a camel on your back than talk financial realities with your children.Your parents told you that talking about money just wasn't polite. Look where that left you! A healthy, balanced attitude towards money begins when kids are just toddling, so pull your head out of the sand and roll up your sleeves.

Gail believes that building confidence and money skills starts with an age-appropriate allowance. In Money-Smart Kids, she'll show you how to start an allowance and use it effectively to help your kids:
