FPF 185 - Teaching Your Children About Investing: Where To Start

In this week’s Financial Planning Friday, Jerry shares practical, values-based ways to teach kids about investing while keeping them grounded. The focus is on building strong habits: earning money before investing it, learning consistency, and understanding that long-term investing is intentionally “boring.”Key Takeaways:• Start with the “why,” not the “wow.” Help kids see investing as a tool for freedom, options, and security—not status.• Tie investing to earned money. Use chores, responsibility, helping others, or summer jobs so the investing dollars connect to effort.• Use a “parent match.” A simple matching approach (like a 401(k) match concept) reinforces consistency and disciplined saving.• Keep investing boring on purpose. Focus on diversification, consistency, long-term holding, and ignoring short-term noise.• Let small mistakes be teachers. Learning market ups and downs with small amounts builds healthier decision-making over time.If you’d like help involving children or grandchildren in age-appropriate financial habits, and setting up an approach that matches your family’s values, reach out to Presilium.
