Make Your Kid a Money Genius: Financial tips from Beth Kobliner

If you’ve been wondering how much you should give your kids for an allowance, what to tell a preschooler about money, or when you should open your kids their own bank accounts, hey, us too. Get the answers and a whole lot more on this episode featuring special guest Beth Kobliner, financial expert and New York Times bestselling author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties.

She’s a mom of three as well, which is why her money management book for parents, Make Your Kid a Money Genius (Even if You’re Not), also hit the NYT best-seller list. (It’s so so good!)
