Raising Financially Aware Kids with American Century

An overwhelming majority of teens (84%) report looking to their parents for information on how to manage money, but 34% of parents say their family’s approach to financial matters is to not discuss finances with their children and “let kids be kids.”

American Century Investments created a guide Raising Financially Aware Kids to help teach toddlers to teens about money and steps to develop lifelong values about work, spending, education and more, including:
1. Inherent differences between “needs” and “wants” and the values around money
2. Establishing saving and investing habits at every age
3. Aspects of debt and borrowing, what to watch for and how those concepts pertain to paying for an education.
