Do your children understand savings, investments, budgets or (the one still tough for adults!) delayed gratification?

As adults and parents, we often don’t even get these concepts. Shouldn’t we prepare the next generation to be better than us? And, isn’t it our responsibility to make sure they’re better off than us?

Where to start? Listen in to this BlogTalkRadio show with kids finance guru girlfriend SUSAN BEACHAM. Susan combined her years of financial experience with her background in elementary education. Together, she can impact kids and the way they think about and spend money – something we can all learn from.

Join us as we talk with Susan about how to work with our kids to set goals, save for special purchases and to understand the concepts that will excel them in their future to financial security and freedom. That’s a pretty awesome legacy to pass along – and Susan has the advice to make that actually happen.

Also, check out Susan’s helpful invention that we discussion – the piggy bank that can train your children to be money savvy kids. Here’s more about SUSAN:

Susan Beacham founded Money Savvy Generation in 1999 after almost two decades in private banking and investment management complemented by considerable time teaching at the elementary level.

The company develops innovative products that help parents and educators teach basic personal finance skills to school-age children. In a world of increasing financial complexity, Susan’s mission is to empower children and young adults to take control over their financial lives and financial futures.

A sought-after speaker for financial institutions, state regulatory agencies, trade associations, leadership conferences and schools, she is the creator of the Money Savvy Pig piggy bank– the centerpiece of the Money Savvy Kids Basic Personal Finance Curriculum. This pioneering system uses age-appropriate instructional materials to teach kids about the value of money. Currently, this program is taught in school districts across the U.S. In order to address the ‘tween and teenage years, Susan also developed the award-winning Cash Cache Beginning Personal Finance Organizer, which has its own age-specific curriculum, Money Savvy U.

Listen in to Susan and her great advice for parents on kids and finances!
