Whose responsibility is it to teach our children about money matters? School teachers? Friends? Parents? According to a survey by USA Weekend magazine, teens say parents are their main source of money-related information AND also supply most of their spending money.

How many parents are actually teaching their children about saving for goals, shopping wisely, checking accounts, and credit cards? What about the household budget, monthly expenses, and many other topics?

Helpful, age-appropriate examples are a valuable resource to parents and children who want to start early and continue the habit of learning, along the financial journey of life.
