Quotes to ponder:

"We cannot expect our children to understand money or make smart money choices if we only talk to them about it on holidays or every other weekend."

"Make ‘money talks’ a central theme in your home and look for opportunities all the time to teach a new money lesson."

"We have made it a habit in our home to continuously teach good money skills just as we made it a habit to teach good manners."
