When children are very young, it might seem unnecessary to teach them about financial matters. In fact, the majority of people don’t learn about saving, budgeting, banking, or investing money until they are young adults earning their first real paycheck.

“And those who say, ‘Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us a leader [i.e., example] for the righteous.’"
