Family Dinnertime Money Talk

As long as money talk is taboo, it will be impossible to demystify it. Help your kids understand how the family earns, spends, saves, and invests its resources.

Open the conversation about what your family values, and how you earn and spend your money accordingly. Do you focus on present and future stability? 

How does your household earn money and where does all that money go? How much is discretionary vs. required spending?

Let your children weigh in on how they'd like family discretionary income allocated - e.g., more eating out, or fancier vacations?
