> What are you getting yourself into?
I teach kids and audiences how to invest in a world they want to see. To put their money where their mouth is and influence change around them.
We’ll also discuss the ways money is manipulated by financial institutions and used against us… since so often, the time in your life you learn a LOT about money is when you’re older and can afford less risk. So you take the safe route, even though you may not ethically agree with it entirely.
But ignorance is bliss, and knowledge is power. When people are better informed, they can make better decisions.
One of my favorite quotes is, “When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others often stiffen.” So, let’s learn about the popular ways people make money – then look into the pro/cons of each… and how we can be a bit more risky – yet – beneficial for the long term.
Kids have the great opportunity to take risks, follow their intuition, and support a future they want to grow up in.
When I tell people I teach kids about money, nearly everyone replies either:
– Do you teach adults?
– I wish I had that as a kid!
Let’s do both. Review what we already know about money and figure out some fun ways to get your kids more money-conscious.
Financial literacy is long-term thinking. It’s a way to take care of yourself with skills/tools to provide for yourself.
We’ll talk about appropriate ways to discuss money with:
Babies: respect for money
Toddlers: critical thinking in spending
Kids: your turn to earn + spend
PreTeens: your turn to invest
Teens: long-term thinking
Young Adults: share your story
Adults: reassurance and reminders
Your host: Kelly Kirk, founder of Kelly Tutors, educator to 10,000+ students, and mother of a 4yo.
Free. Capitol Hill Branch, Seattle Public Library. July 22, 12–1:30pm.
