What are Hispana Global’s recommendations for teaching children about financial literacy?

I share several recommendations on Hispana Global for teaching kids about money and saving. The goal is to talk about money without causing anxiety, while building responsibility and independence over time.

Here are key tips I recommend:

• Explain that money is earned, then saved, and only then spent
• Teach the difference between needs vs. wants
• Emphasize not spending what you don’t have, including with credit or debit cards
• Start early with simple concepts using cash, change, and counting
• Play games like Monopoly to practice earning, paying, and saving
• Use apps and calculators to track expenses and create simple budgets
• Consider an allowance for older kids so they can manage a set amount
• Teach the value of work by paying for extra chores beyond normal responsibilities
