Your child weighs the pros and cons of using their money in various situations in a way that you believe is in their best interest. Your child is not afraid of money. Your child is comfortable in going to banks or investment firms to get more information, open accounts and ask for support. Your child understands the benefits of delayed gratification. Your teen has the financial knowledge and ability to budget when they leave their childhood home. Your teen has a good credit score as soon as is practical. Your kids have developed habits and patterns of behavior around making and spending money that serve them well throughout their life. Each chapter includes financial education appropriate to your children's ages, along with the mechanics of what investment accounts or practices you may put in place to solidify your children's future financial well-being. Exercises and examples are included throughout to stimulate your thinking on how best to teach and engage your kids. Many of the exercises are directly applicable to practical skills such as budgeting. Stories that demonstrate the financial parenting strategies of other parents provide ideas that may inform your personal financial teaching approach. Seeing how parents have already educated their children provides a welcome realization that this is just a part of the parenting experience. Raising Financially Independent Children was written in response to widespread insolvency and financial illiteracy among the young and older adults alike. The book is written for parents of young children but is suitable for anyone who would like to change their relationship with money, or who needs a refresher on the basics of credit and simple account management. By presenting easy ways to educate your children from their earliest years, we are confident the next generation will be better prepared to navigate the financial challenges of modern life.

Download or read book Teachers Can Be Financially Fit written by Tawni Hunt Ferrarini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses relatable case studies to dispense practical financial advice to educators. Written by an expert team of four award-winning economics educators, the book provides an engaging narrative specifically designed for teachers and their unique financial needs. Educators are attracted to the teaching profession for numerous reasons. Prospective teachers enter the profession believing it offers a certain level of job security and good benefits, usually including a defined-benefit, state-funded pension. But things are changing. Pensions vary widely from state to state and even within school districts. Many private schools do not offer even basic 403(b) saving plans and, when they do, they are often not very generous. Much the same can be said of many charter schools and private colleges and universities. The book consists of fourteen chapters covering a comprehensive group of topics specifically curated for educators teaching at the K-12 and university level, including saving for retirement, managing debt, investment strategies, and real estate. Each chapter begins with a case study of an educator in a specific financial situation, which sets the scene for the introduction and explanation of key concepts. The chapters include a Q&A section to address common questions and conclude with a “Financial 911” focusing on a financial emergency related to the chapter topic.
