Teach Your Kids How Money Works

First, start getting familiar with money early on. Although the amounts change over time, the fundamental nature of how money works stays the same. 

Second, invest as early as possible! I started investing at age 8 – I have yet to hear anyone beat that one – and starting early sure paid off. 

Invest Early and Often

Third, get some source of income. You can start a business as a teenager like I did, but for the vast majority of kids, the best way for them to make the most amount of money in the least amount of time is by having a job.

Have Your Teens Earn Income

Of course the biggest thing that adults and teenagers struggle with is they spend too much. Now this is obviously highly dependent on your family financial situation.

Managing the Money

Teens and even adults generally don’t have time to “play the market”.  Even if they do have time, most often with stocks, you’re better off just investing in the S&P 500.
