As she goes off to college I've decided to give her a crash course in the essentials, but more importantly I'd like for her to meet with you when she graduates. I can't think of a better gift for her than to get some good solid advice from you. Managing money is such an important life skill. We should all talk about it more. Thank you for reminding us all about a huge gap in many of our children's education.

Our relationship to money seems to greatly impact our lives as adults & can possibly hinder our lives whether we have an abundant supply or not. It seems like such a better idea to get started young & to learn how to utilize money as another tool in life & to not get hung up or bring into play the unnecessary emotional attachment to money. Abby seems to be right on track! Really inspirational. Thanks for introducing her. Looking forward to future posts! Cathy –

Abby should connect with Elisabeth Donati at Creative Wealth International (www.creativewealthintl.org) who does financial literacy programs for kids and teens. Best part about it - Abby gets the fact that building wealth is a good thing. It allows you to do more good in the world. Cathy -

My mother always said that the biggest regret she had in life was not helping her children develop better habits and practices around saving money. I think parents can be extremely powerful advocates in this area of life and there's no doubt the schools ought to take it up. This is a great topic, thanks for starting the conversation. Cathy,

You put your money in, then you take it out, so how do they make money?" I was floored! Then extremely excited to talk to her about it. She is now 7 and understands mortgages and car loans....
