Engaging Kids in Family Money Decisions: An Interview with Nathan Dungan

“Who is interested in shaping your child’s attitudes around money?” That is the first question posed by this week’s Mom Enough children and money guest, Nathan Dungan, financial advisor and founder of Share, Save, Spend.   The answer to that question – and examples of how our culture lures our kids to spend, spend, spend – should make us all sit up and take notice! But we do not need to be powerless; from 5-minute family money meetings to teachable moments at the grocery store, restaurant or ATM, this Mom Enough episode is packed with ways to clarify your own values about money, instill those values in your children, and give your kids voice and choice in family money decisions.   HOW DO YOU INVOLVE YOUR CHILDREN IN FAMILY DECISIONS ABOUT MONEY?   What practical ideas did you get from this Mom Enough discussion about children and money? How are these tips different from what you currently do and what next steps could you take to build your children’s money wisdom?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CHILDREN AND FAMILY MONEY DECISIONS?   ❉ TEACHABLE MONEY MOMENTS WITH YOUR CHILD.
