LEARNING THE SKILLS THEY NEED
BOTH STATES LIKE MANY OTHERS
DON'T REQUIRE STUDENTS TO TAKE
SOME STANDALONE PERSONAL
FINANCE CLASSES.
WHICH MEANS IT COULD BE
MISSING OUT ON LEARNING BASIC
FINANCIAL SKILLS THINGS LIKE
BUDGETING SAVING INVESTING AT
GREG HIM OR SAID A CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER AND THE CEO
OF BUSY KID HERE TO TALK TO US
ABOUT THE WAYS THAT YOU CAN
HELP START THESE CONVERSATIONS
THAT WILL STICK WITH YOUR KIDS
AT THROUGH LIFE AND I WAS
TELLING YOU I'VE ATTENDED A 12
YEAR-OLD SO WE'RE LIKE PRIDE.
DIDN'T GET JOB OF SAVING KNOW
HELP YES HAVE TO REALLY START
TEACHING OUR KIDS THIS STUFF
AND USE TECHNOLOGY TO DO
BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GETTING
SCHOOL. YEAH, EVEN IF THEY
TEACH TO STAFF A SCHOOL, IT'S
USUALLY IN HIGH SCHOOL WHICH
IF YOU ASK ME THAT'S TOO LATE
IN THE GAME YEAH AND AND THEY
USUALLY TO SOME MIKE ECONOMIC
STUFF LIKE SUPPLY AND DEMAND
MOVE LIKE THAT'S NOT ALL THAT
IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW AT THAT POINT IT'S
NOT HELPING ME SAY FOR THE
LITTLE STUFF. SO WHAT ARE THE
FIRST STEPS THAT YOU RECOMMEND
FAMILIES DO AS THEY START THIS
PROCESS.
FIRST STEP LIKE I SAID USE
TECHNOLOGY AND GET A SYSTEM IN
PLACE AND OF TO DING OUR OWN
HORN A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE
THINK WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
SYSTEM. BUT WHAT YOU GET IS
YOU GET A SITUATION WHERE KIDS
LEARN TO EARN MONEY, OK GET UP
OFF THE COUCH QUICK TO
SCROLLING INSTAGRAM MESSING
AROUND GET OFF THE CATCH AND
DO SOME WORK AND THEN GET THAT
MONEY INTO DIFFERENT BUCKETS.
SAVING SHARING AND OKAY, THIS
IS A BALANCED FINANCIAL
APPROACH, NOT JUST A GET IT
AND BLOW IT. HIS KIDS ARE
PRETTY GOOD AT YEAH AND WHEN
YOU SAY SAYING, I MEAN YOU
EVEN MEAN INVESTING IN S ISN'T
THAT AMAZING OK LITERALLY GET
A KID TO EARN SOME MONEY AND
TAKES AND THAT MONEY AND BUY
FRACTIONAL SHARES OF STOCK.
OK WE LOOK AT VIDEO GAME
RIGHT AND YOU CAN DO IT ONLINE
IT'S ALL ONLINE AT IT'S
TECHNOLOGY. BUT THEY'RE
LEARNING THESE LITTLE
FINANCIAL FUNDAMENTALS RIGHT
OUT OF THE GATE AND LET THEM
BUY SOMETHING THAT THEY THINK
IS COOL. MY SON LITERALLY
YESTERDAY SENT ME A REQUEST TO
BUY SOME APPLE STOCK BECAUSE
HE LIKES APPLE AND THE DAY
BEFORE IT WAS DISNEY. SO LET
HIM BUY WHAT THEY WANT AND
THINKS IS COOL AND THEN
THEY'RE GOING TO REALLY KIND
OF FOLLOW IT MORE AND
UNDERSTAND MORE AND ASK MORE
QUESTIONS, YEAH, THEN ALL THE
SUDDEN YOU'RE KIND OF IN IT
AND YOU DON'T EVEN HARDLY KNOW
IT SURE THE LEARNING YELLOW
AND I LIKE THIS TECHNOLOGY
BASED APPROACH AND I WANT TO
TALK A LITTLE ABOUT BUSY COULD
IS ACTUALLY AN APP I MEAN IF
YOU TRY TO TALK TO YOUR KIDS
ABOUT BALANCING A CHECKBOOK
THEIR EYES ARE GOING USE THESE
DAYS SO THAT REALLY HOW MANY
OF THEM ON THEIR TURF HOW MANY
CHECKS TO WE RIGHT I WRITE
LIKE YEAH YOU USUALLY TO THE
IRS MAKE RIGHT WE DON'T DO
THAT ANYMORE YOU'VE GOT TO
MEET THEM WHERE THEY'RE AT AND
THAT TECHNOLOGY AND THAT'S A
PHONE LIKE I KNOW WE KUSS THE
PHONE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS
ON IT ALL THE TIME BUT LET'S
USE IT TO LET THEM LEARN LIKE
SOME MEANINGFUL STAFFING
CONTINUES EVERY DAY OF THEIR
LIVES. YES, SO WHAT IS ON AD
THEN I MEAN AS A WHOLE LAYOUT
RIGHT YEAH SO YOU AS A PARENT
GIVE THEM CHOICE I KIND OF
CALL IT YOUR YOUR KIDS FIRST
JOB WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT.
OKAY, GIVEN CHORES THEY DO
THE CHORES DAY OFF WE KEEP
TRACK OF ALL THAT AND THEN ON
THURSDAY WE'RE GOING TO SEND
YOU A MESSAGE THAT SAYS HEY.
THIS IS HOW MUCH THEY ARE IN
THIS WEEK DO YOU WANT TO
APPROVE IT, YES OR IT'S KIND
OF LIKE YOU'RE THE BOSS
APPROVING PAYROLL AT THE END
OF THE WAY OKAY, YEAH, YOU
APPROVE IT. WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE THE MONEY RIGHT FROM YOUR
CHECKING ACCOUNT OR DEBIT
CREDIT CARD INTO OUR SYSTEM
AND THEN DIVIDED INTO SAVING
SHARING AND SPENDING GREAT
