BLOG: Money Skills for Kids - High School
15 February 2019
High School means a lot of new experiences for kids. Learning not just lessons inside the classroom, but life lessons too. Being a teenager is not one of the easiest life phases, most of us will agree, and for many it is fraught with anxiety and hormonal swings. There's so much for kids to learn during their high school years that it can be easy for parents to miss one very crucial thing. Understanding money and how to manage spending it responsibly. There’s an increased awareness of consumerism (think fashion and electronic gadgets and wanting to keep up with their friends), and the increased need for access to cash (be it pocket money or earnings) to spend on socialising and shopping. And while they will learn valuable lessons through making mistakes with money, as their parent you can help to minimise their mistakes and instead empower them to see the true value of being financially free.
