    10 Mom-tested Tips to Teach Kids About Money and Finance

    A couple of weeks ago I was asked to speak on the topic of teaching your kids about money and finances. I love this subject and got really excited. I mean, I've been married to Cap'n Coupon for fifteen years. So I spent some time doing research and created a list of talking points. After my presentation, I looked back over my unused talking points and realized I was missing some stuff. So I asked the most intelligent and attractive women on the internet -- my readers -- what ideas they had. They did not disappoint. So here are their 10 mom-tested ideas on how to teach your kids about finances and money: - By Julie Miner

      It can be a big bone of contention, especially among older kids. Should parents control their kid's money and savings? It's not that easy an answer. If a child worked hard to earn their money, should they be able to spend it on whatever they want? I say yes, but with a caveat. Parents should help kids make good choices and protect them from the consequences of bad ones. Not all bad consequences - but certainly serious ones. Sometimes dealing with the consequences of a bad choice can be a really valuable life lesson. But if you see your child about to make a decision that's really bad or is going to result in long term problems - it's your job to step in.
