teach them about money? 

Episode 43

by | Apr 11, 2018

When is it the ‘right time’ to start teaching our kids about money? How do you teach them about finance in ways that they will understand? In today’s episode, Kathleen interviews Justin Pullaro, Co-Founder of Small Change, to find out the best age to start money conversations with your children and how to make it fun and engaging. Listen to discover tips and tools for empowering your children, grandchildren, or nieces and nephews about finance.

Key Take Aways:

  • There is a lack of financial literacy resources for parents of young children. As a father of four, Justin decided to fill that gap and started his firm Small Change to offer parents and their children resources and information on how to incorporate money talk into their every day lives.
  • Practice financial literacy immersion. Justin offers ways to incorporate small actions that promote a healthy relationship with money that don’t require a lot of time and energy. By immersing your children at a young age in money conversations, you are communicating both verbally and with your actions that financial responsibility is an important life skill.
  • You don’t have to be a financial expert. You can learn alongside your children and don’t have to know everything about finances to be able to teach them about money. Small change offers videos and tools to help you empower yourself and the young people in your life to break money silence in your family.

A financial planner for more than 14 years, Justin Pullaro has helped families bring financial balance to their busy lives. He is also the co-founder of Small Change, a new financial education company helping families talk about money through short parent-focused videos and tangible tools for kids.
