RIGHT ON THE MONEY:
Teaching Kids Financial Responsibility

Nathan Dungan

 

Do your children understand financial boundaries or do they think of you as their personal ATM? Is your teen developing the healthy financial habits he or she will need for college and beyond?
It’s an alarming fact that children today spend five times more money on average than their parents did at the same age, even adjusting for inflation. Experts worry that we are creating a generation of young adults with unsustainable spending habits and unprecedented levels of credit card debt. Now is the time to teach our children how to manage money and develop healthy spending habits….before they leave home.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Nathan Dungan explore issues surrounding allowance, chores, savings accounts, debit/credit cards, and gift-giving. He offers ways for parents of all backgrounds to talk about, think about and “do” money that are consistent with their family’s values.

Mr. Dungan is an author, speaker and national expert on family finances. As a former financial advisor and Fortune 500 company executive, he founded Share-Save-Spend LLC in order to help people of all ages develop and maintain healthy financial habits. He is the author/co-author of Prodigal Sons & Material Girls: How Not to Be Your Child’s ATM and a new textbook for high school students, Personal Finance: A Lifetime Responsibility.
