5 conversations to have before they turn 18
"What do you think our family's relationship with money looks like — and how do you want yours to be different?" This opens the door without judgment.
Show your teen a real pay stub — yours or a sample. Walk through every deduction line by line. Most teens are shocked by the difference between gross and net.
"Your credit score follows you for life — here's how it works and what we're going to do right now to help you start building yours." Then take action together.
Sit down and add up what your household actually costs per month — rent, utilities, food, insurance. Let the numbers do the teaching.
"What I wish someone had taught me at your age is..." Fill in that blank honestly. The most powerful financial lesson you can give is your own story.
The complete kit for teens 13–18 and their parents, covering budgeting, credit, investing, taxes and everything adulting requires.
