I really enjoyed your interview. The comments were very valuable and the concepts will definitely help children develop a good relationship with money as well as learn to become personally responsible over time. It would be wonderful if all parents could hear this while our children were still pre-schoolers.
Thank you!
Nancy – I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. Developing a good relationship with money is one of those life skills that can be learned early and used for a lifetime.
