The future is creeping up on all of us. If you’ve been avoiding thinking about it, it’s time to get serious about retirement and your goals. Some of us put off worrying about money for a long time.

Make Your Kid A Money Master With Eva Baker Apr 24, 2017

Show notes

Good personal finance habits start young. Our children don’t get much personal finance education in school so it’s up to parents to provide that education. There are things we can do throughout their childhood to turn our kid into a money master. Today we take to Eva Baker from Teens Got Cents. She started Teens Got Cents as a home school project when she began to get interested in personal finance.

She started doing some research but found that most information was geared toward adults and there wasn't much to help kids. Eva saw a gap and decided to fill it and that's how her site started when she was just 16. Eva blogs about how teens can shop smart, get a great part time job, go to college debt free, save money, and start their own business.

In 2015 she founded The Teenpreneur Conference. This annual conference brings together teen business owners as well as teens who want to start their own business in a community that truly is by teens, for teens.
