In our latest episode of the “How to Teach Your Kids About Money” podcast, COR founder, Alec, and COR mom and Chief Community Officer, Julie, cook up a hearty discussion on the challenging recipe of teaching kids about money, even when parents themselves are unsure.
They unpack the psychology of money, pointing out that understanding finance is different from managing behaviors around it, much like the ins and outs of the science of nutrition are different from eating healthy and teaching our kids good food habits.
Listen as Alec highly recommends The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, which is a big deal, since this is the first time Alec has fully recommended a book with this kind of fervor over his 18-year career in finance. It’s a book Alec and Julie believe can truly change your view on finance.
A key point they highlight from the book is that money skills are behavior skills. Being good with money doesn’t require knowledge of complex financial topics. It requires certain behaviors.
And while Housel asserts it’s really tough to teach behavior to adults … You know who it’s really easy to teach behavior to? Kids!
Ever tried to teach a kid to make a salad? Julie also shares about a "junk food feast" at her daughter's school, where Julie turned a fun activity into a budgeting lesson for Cassidy. With Cassidy in charge of choosing what to buy within the set budget, she was able to learn about pricing, and make strategic choices.
Alec and Julie believe in money talks as an integrated part of family life, not a dreaded chore. They affirm that these money manners can indeed be learned, even if it takes a bit of trial and error, likening it to developing healthy eating habits.
Join us for this enlightening chat, learn some actionable tips on how to teach your kids about money, and let's help our kids grow into financially savvy adults!

Welcome to another episode of "How to Teach Your Kids About Money", your go-to podcast for teaching your kids about money. Today, our guest is Jamie Bosse, a financial advisor, author, and mother of four.
In this episode, we dive deep into the challenges and importance of teaching kids about money in a world where money has become almost invisible. Jamie shares her journey from being a college student contemplating becoming an elementary school teacher, to switching her major to financial planning after her parents filed for bankruptcy. This personal experience sparked her passion for financial literacy and led to her mission to help people improve their lives through better financial understanding.
Jamie also shares her insights on parenting and managing finances with her children. With four children ranging from 5 to 10 years old, she's seen firsthand how different kids can be when it comes to money, from the strategic saver to the impulsive buyer. She explains her approach to teaching her children about money and the importance of letting them make mistakes when the stakes are lower.
We also discuss her book, "Money Boss Mom," and the children's book series, Milton, the Money Savvy Pup, both of which aim to promote financial literacy in an engaging and relatable way.
Key Points:
* The importance of teaching kids about money and financial literacy.
* Jamie's personal journey and her passion for financial planning.
* The challenges of teaching kids about money when it's invisible.
* The significance of letting kids make financial mistakes.
* Jamie encourages her children to find jobs outside the home during the summer to understand accountability and working for someone else.
* Julie's daughter Cassidy had a profitable beading business, but now struggles with understanding the value of smaller amounts of money because she is used to handling larger numbers.
* Jamie shares that their chore chart has evolved; her older kids are on a kind of "salary system" where they have daily tasks to complete before they can do anything fun. The children get paid weekly; the older ones get around $5, and the younger ones receive $3. The children have 'give, save, spend' jars and decide for themselves how to allocate their money.
* Julie and Jamie are the primary drivers of financial education in their households, with supportive spouses.
* Alec uses a system of "seed capital" as part of the Cents of Responsibility monthly allowance day to teach his kids about compounding interest, which he plans to eventually transition into an investment account.
* Jamie's book, "Money Boss Mom," and her children's book series, "Milton, the Money Savvy Pup"

Dr. Ashley LeBaron Black, this week’s guest, is a professor at Brigham Young University.
Her research focuses on how teaching children about money impacts their financial, relational, and mental health outcomes in emerging adulthood. One of her most powerful findings is: Kids learn more about money from their parents than from schools, media, peers, and work experience combined.
According to Ashley’s recent study, hands-on experiences with parents are the most effective method of teaching children about money, while lecturing them is the least effective.
Ashley's research found financial education can lead to better mental health and relationships. We talk about how families benefit immensely in a variety of ways when parents intentionally teach their kids about money using experiential lessons, perhaps with allowance, so kids can practice managing their own money.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching kids about money, being open and honest about finances is key, and allowing for first-hand experience is as well.
Key points:
- Hands-on experiences with parents are the most effective method of teaching children about money while lecturing them is the least effective.
- Financial education can lead to better mental health and relationships.
- Children whose parents provided a good financial example tend to manage their own money better later in life, but at the same time, hope is not lost if they do not.
- Parents can involve their kids in family financial decisions, and even keep kids informed about financial challenges and how they plan to deal with them.
- Parents shouldn't let their own lack of financial knowledge stand in the way of teaching about money.. They don’t need to be perfect in managing their finances to teach their kids important financial lessons, they just need some strategy and effort.

They also talk about the role of parents in modeling good financial habits.Trina acknowledges the positive impact her parents' advice had on her financial habits and how it has helped her be better off than many Americans. However, she wonders if she could have adhered better to their advice, and if the missing piece was experiential learning at a younger age.Alec and Trina discuss how experiential learning is the most impactful and what works over the years and decades. They also mention that mistakes made when young are not as high-consequence as those made when one is on their own, making it easier to be less mindful about money when one is younger.Trina has noticed that being more financially responsible is now more on her mind, and she feels like this program has made her even more strategic with her money. She is also thinking about the power her daughter now has at her age and the cool gift of financial independence she can give her daughter through this program.Alec and Trina discuss how children will only ask for as much information as they need, and parents should not be intimidated by their questions. They suggest parents should provide simple, honest answers to their children's questions about money and let the conversation develop from there.Trina mentions that her daughter sometimes resists the routine and wants to skip through the lesson fast, especially if it is done on weekends. Listen to how Alec advises how to handle this common challenge.They discuss Trina's point that teaching her daughter about money also involves self-reflection, which can be hard for some. She had to look at her money mindset and see where she could do better, which can be challenging but beneficial.Teaching kids about money is an important part of parenting, and it requires a thoughtful and intentional approach. By incorporating hands-on experiential learning and modeling good financial habits, parents can help their kids develop a healthy relationship with money that will serve them well throughout their lives.

In this latest episode of our "How to Teach Your Kids About Money" podcast, hosts Alec and Julie talk about the evolution of Julie's teenage daughter from a spender to a savvy budgeter. Cassidy loves expensive clothes and accessories, but through consistent practice with money and monthly allowance days, she's learned the value of money and budgeting. She even makes money by selling clothes or doing extra work around the house!
They also discuss the value of cash, and how to teach kids about always having some on hand. Alec and Julie also discuss how cash can make money transactions more tangible and concrete for kids, rather than them always using electronic payments. Some parents might be new to the idea that debit cards and other forms of e-payment should be eased in slowly after their children have had lots of practice with cash.
Some key takeaways:
* Julie has seen their teenage Cassidy become more disciplined about her spending habits, which has led to less conflict.
* Although Cassidy likes to buy expensive, trendy clothes, she now understands the value of a dollar in terms of how many hours she needs to work to earn the money she'd like to supplement her allowance with.
* Cassidy no longer spends her money regularly at Starbucks, now that it's coming out of her own pocket.
* Both Julie and Alec are excited to see their children become more interested in investments and donations, and they feel that their children are becoming more money savvy as a result.
* Their kids' interest in investments has led to interesting conversations about sustainability credits and carbon emissions between them and their friends.
* It's also sparking conversations around money between the parents and their kids, which Julie didn't experience growing up. Money was a taboo topic for kids in her family.
* For Julie, this whole experience feels like a mix of parenting and money education, since she is learning along with her kids.
* Paying with cash or credit cards creates an opportunity for parents to have a conversation about money with their kids.
* Conversations about the cost of meals and restaurants can help teach children about the value of money, as in the case of Alec using Apple Pay at a pizza place recently.
* People tend to overspend on takeout because they do not think about the cost. The actual transaction of money creates more awareness of the spend.
* Having cash is still important, as some places may only accept cash.
* Cash is an incredible tool to use with kids because it’s tangible and concrete.
* It is important to teach kids the value of coins, since they can add up!
* The transition to using a debit card should be gradual, with parents still doling out cash during allowance and adding a debit card to the process.
* Teaching kids about budgeting and saving can be done by setting goals, creating a budget, and through the monthly allowance day practice (a.k.a. COR Day).
* Alec and Julie are watching their children become more money savvy in real time, and they're excited to see where this will lead.
With patience and consistent practice, our kids can become financially responsible adults. Remember, you really are the best person to teach your kids about money!

But most importantly, they discuss how parents can easily teach their kids about responsible borrowing, even if they’re not experts themselves.
Some Episode #9 Key Takeaways:
* It’s important to teach kids about borrowing and lending in a responsible manner and to differentiate between what is okay to borrow and what is not.
* Teaching kids about borrowing and lending can start from a young age, and should include familiarizing them with the process, including penalties and repayment.
* Using credit cards responsibly can have benefits, such as booking flights using miles, but it is important to teach kids about not overspending and about paying off debts.
* The Cents of Responsibility "credit bill,” which is part of the Elementary Starter Course, can be a useful tool in teaching kids about borrowing and lending, but it is important to use it in a controlled environment (i.e. your family) to avoid negative consequences.
More on the Cents of Responsibility Credit Bill System:
Young kids don't usually carry around their cash and often need to borrow cash from parents to spend their allowance money. When they get home from making a purchase using their parents’ money, kids write on the fridge how much they owe, so they can pay it back on Allowance Day. There is a penalty if kids don't pay back on time, which encourages them to be responsible with their finances.Consistency is crucial in the Cents of Responsibility Credit Bill system, as it fosters better relationships and avoids fights about money.Siblings can also practice using money with each other. For example, Julie’s kids, John and Cassidy, do not borrow from each other but pay each other with money for small favors.Alec’s daughters lent one another $30 in exchange for a $5 fee instead of borrowing from their father and paying a $10 penalty.Alec and Julie share personal stories of family members who had to navigate debt and how they want to help their own kids avoid that situation. They discuss the Cents of Responsibility Elementary Starter Course, which provides step-by-step instructions and resources to teach kids financial responsibility. They also encourage parents to use the program and share it with others to help spread financial literacy.Join us at COR as we explore teaching our kids about money and creating a platform for financial practice and familiarity for your kids.

In this eighth episode of our How to Teach Your Kids About Money podcast, Alec and Julie talk about Julie’s efforts to teach her teenage son about investing.
Some episode highlights:
Alec and Julie discuss how to introduce investing to a middle schooler.Alec reviews goals for the Spend, Save, Invest, and Donate buckets used on allowance day, and compares how they’re both different and similar for middle vs. high school kids. For example, as a caregiver, you’re creating a platform for consistent money practice and familiarity with each bucket. Julie talks about the real-life practice her son has had recently with stocks. Alec offers thoughts on the state of investment literacy as he’s seen it over the years. Unfortunately, too many people look at investing as a foreign concept. Many aren’t even interested in taking part in an investment conversation. That’s not what anybody really wants for their kids. We want our kids to be informed, good decision-makers, and understand what's happening with their money Stock market games in school and stock market apps are there to excite kids into learning about the investment world. That’s all well and good, but the games are set up as a competition, and as with all competitions, the goal is to win. And to win quickly. But making fast money isn’t what investing is about. Investing is about compounding interest over time … money building on top of money. That takes time.The key lessons parents should be teaching their kids about investing aren’t complicated. They’re about asking the right questions and having patience and a slow-and-steady approach.=======================

Rob Phelan is a high school math and personal finance teacher in Maryland. He also is the co-author of a financial education curriculum, as well as the founder of The Simple Startup, which is a program for 10 to 18-year-olds to start their own businesses based on the premise that entrepreneurship is a future-proof life skill. He started on this path about five years ago when his son was born.
Here are some of the key takeaways and opportunities discussed:
👉 Some states require a half-year or full year of financial literacy education in high school.
👉 That’s better than nothing but it’s much better to start financial education with our kids much earlier, and Rob started to do that with his son.
👉 A lot of our money habits are set between the ages of 7-9, Rob says, so it’s important to start teaching kids when they are most receptive to these lessons.
👉 It’s possible to start even earlier, as Rob did with his three-year-old son. They read the book Rob authored, M is for Money, and are starting an allowance program so his son can practice spending his own money. Rob breaks down how he’s doing allowance with his son.
👉 “We want to now start putting the money in his hands and let him start deciding what he wants to buy. So he can't have everything, but he can have something and he has to start making decisions about those things now,” Rob says.
👉 Some of the reasons parents don’t have a handle on how to talk with their kids about money is that they were never taught financial literacy and so they feel insecure about that. It was also a taboo topic in many families.
👉 Rob wants his child to have opportunities he missed, such as the power of compound interest over time: “I remember at one point in my childhood asking my dad about stocks. I heard about it somewhere. I was maybe eight or nine years old. And I asked him about it. I was like, ‘What is it? How does it work? Can I do this too?’ And he didn't know how to answer it. He didn't know at that time how to get a child involved in investing. And because that conversation dropped, I didn't start investing for probably another nearly 20 years, which is so sad when you think about compound interest and what could have been.”
👉 Time is your most valuable asset when it comes to building wealth and also protecting yourself from making those bad mistakes that are very costly.
👉 Rob recommends the book Raising Your Money-Savvy Family For Next Generation Financial Independence by Carol Pittner and Doug Nordman
👉 Rob is also the founder of The Simple Startup, which is a program for 10 to 18-year-olds to start their own businesses based on the premise that entrepreneurship is a future-proof life skill.

In this sixth episode of our How to Teach Your Kids About Money podcast, Alec and Julie interview Cents of Responsibility (COR) parent Nora Ellish. Nora shares some of her money-learning adventures with her kids including an ingenious way she created to manage her kids’ not doing their share of household chores: A Slob Tax.
She also shares some of her lessons and wins after she took our Cents of Responsibility Course for Elementary Parents, including bringing her whole family (including her husband) on board with monthly allowance, using “real money,” and teaching her kids to allocate between Spend, Save, Invest and Donate.
One big win was realizing that as soon as they had to spend their own money on wants like a Kendra Scott diamond necklace (these go for $65 and up), collectible cards, or apparently everything in Home Goods for a bedroom makeover, Nora’s kids decided they didn’t want those things so badly anymore. There were definitely some emotions like disappointment, envy of friends, and more, but Nora has found the journey to be extremely rewarding for her family.
Other money-teaching lessons and wins Alec and Julie discussed with Nora:
* How to deal when your kids’ friends don’t have the same budget or they seem to get everything they want
* An effective way to teach her kids the importance of donating
* Deciding what the parents will pay for versus what the kids will pay for with their allowance
* Practicing the habit of saving
* Alternatives to chore-based allowance: How the slob tax works

Guest Bio:
Nora Ellish founded Colebrooke Media Group in 2011 after a storied history working with high-profile media brands, including NBCUniversal, where she helmed communications efforts for the preeminent media company’s Content Distribution business and the distribution of an impressive portfolio of top-rated cable networks and the Olympic Games with multi-platform partners. Nora also led rebranding efforts for the pop culture powerhouse Bravo Media, and publicized the Emmy-winning series "Top Chef " and "Queer Eye," among others.
Nora’s career began with an article she wrote for her college newspaper, The Florida Alligator, in her sophomore year, entitled ‘Roofies: The Date Rape Pill,’ which was discovered by a high-profile New York-based producer of ABC News 20/20. He pursued Ellish’s sources for a groundbreaking piece on the popular newsmagazine show, and as Barbara Walters’ private producer, he brought Nora on board to be her intern. She then landed a second internship her junior year at NBC Dateline, and went on to kick start her career as a television producer on live national shows that included ABC’s “Good Morning America,” NBC’s “Later Today” and Lifetime’s “Lifetime Live.” She later found herself on the other side of the pitch as a publicist and President of her own shop.
