56 Money Conversation Starters to Teach Your Kids About Money

Financial literacy is a difficult subject to teach to your kids at any age, but it’s crucial that your kids
understand the basics early on so they can form better habits as they age. For example, budgeting
and saving are concepts that kids typically learn by observing you over time, but you can streamline
the process by discussing these principles with them and actually let them take part in the process! 

However, money is not something most kids want to talk about at all! In fact, most kids don’t really
want to think about earning money until they realize they can buy stuff they want with it. Fortunately,
there are ways you can trigger conversations about money so that your kids are at least thinking and
talking about it early on, such as these money conversation starters. 

Wikibuy compiled 56 questions covering financial topics for young kids and teens. All you need to do
is print them out! You can pull them out anytime you’re at the table together, or keep handy in the car
to keep your kids occupied while you drive. The choice is yours, but the important part is that you’ll
discuss money together! These can be especially useful when you’re taking care of financial errands.
For example, if you run to the ATM, it’s a great time to explain what an ATM is and segue into why it’s
important to earn money. 

There are plenty of opportunities to start teaching your kids about money, but the important thing is
that you discuss it regularly. This will build a solid financial foundation and help your kids make better,
smarter financial choices when it really matters later in life. You can download the full list
