. hi, everyone welcome to on the money. how it's raising the risk in the real estate industry and even if you're not buying or selling, you want to hear about this. bus cloelgts and confidence. it really matters. tressing up is more than it seems. >> yesterday i was worried about how i'm going to dress. >> have we got a deal for you. designer tommy hilfinger's digs in the blah za city hotel.
5:31 am
what would eloise say. this is "on the money. we begin with kids and money. how do you teach them to spend smartly and save wisely with cash, credit cards, and digital currency, how do kids begin learning we spoke to adults about kids and money lessons. that's our cover story today. >> my children, my grandchildren, if we give them gifts of money, put half in the bank and then buy yourself something wonderful. >> if we give them things, they get too spoiled. they don't know what the value is because it's handed to them. >> they want, they want, they want, but no one's taught them they have to work to get what they want. >> they should always have an allowance and get to respect it. >> i had to learn to use it. i've used that philosophy. >> children aren't taught.
5:32 am
they are influenced by those around them. impulse buying. >> they say, oh, i really like it i always say stop, do you want it, can you use it, can you afford it before you buy it. >> the wants and needs the things they need, we'll provide for. the things they want they have to work for. they know the difference between the two. >> i like buying candy. >> yeah, me too. that's a wise range of financial wisdom how do we raise those children great to have you. >> great to be here. >> how early should this start pre-k? >> as soon as possible the little girl said she loves to have a candy bar. do you need it or do you want it let's talk about how to delay your gratification for getting that candy bar until the end of
5:33 am
the school week or if you have a candy bar during the muddle of the day, you can't have dessert after dinner. >> make sure they realize there's not limitless quantities. >> exactly get something little and build your way up. so if you get something at the store, then you may not be able to get anything over the weekend and go out with the family or go see that movie. >> it's good to wait and want something for a little while. >> exactly. >> what do you do when your kids get into elementary school >> you can talk more about money lessons, how do you spend and save and spend wisely and start talking about how you compare. this is why i'm buying this, this is on sale and this is one you like and we're going to get this one today but we're not going to get the more expensive product. this may be the time to think about allowance or doing chores.
5:34 am
paying for chores, you may not want to do that. it could lead to negotiation allowance needs to be consistent and you set the ground rules and how they attain that whether it's a dollar by how old they are. >> that's interesting. the idea you don't want an allowance in exchange for chores because it's a negotiation and you should be doing the chores because you're part of the family. >> also it's a good way for kids to learn how to manage your money. as the young woman said she learned to do it as a child and now as an adult is better able to manage her money. >> i guess in middle school you've picked up more money from others and as you get to high school, you a real job what happens in those stages >> i think middle school is the time to introduce the idea you have certain things, others may not have that.
5:35 am
teach them about the income disparities by discussing it. >> that's a good point and then in high scoot that you really need to start to teach your child there there are a lot of school activities which ones are you going to do are you going to find your own closes and how are you going to budget. >> what were people's mistakes when it comes to money >> not talking about it. the hardest thing is to make a financial mistake. even harder is to discuss it having those conversations lets them know it's not free, puts a value on it. because often what we see them do is use credit card, go online and things disappear. >> and that's not magic.
5:36 am
>> you're paying interest. all of those things are things they need to know so they don't think it happens. >> that brings us to another idea you start thinking about apple pay and vinmo and bitcoin. do you talk to your kids about that >> i don't i want them to learn about the value of money i try to use cash. the reality is they're going to be as adults probably in a more cashless society, so we do need to talk about the value of money and the value of things and you can do that and introduce some of these concepts and digital currency as well. >> sharon, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> really appreciate it. >> sure. >> now here's look at what's making news as we head into a new week on "on the money. americans spend more money than
5:37 am
they did did in september. but not much restaurants, retail, and online spending were all strong gasoline fell a bit. consumer spending is closely watched because it makes up more than two-thirds of the economy tech closed on thursday because of the tax reform. there were ugly days earlier in the week stocks fell, though, on friday if you're planning on hitting the road for the thanksgiving holiday, there may be even more traffic than expected. aaa says about 50 million americans will travel 50 miles or more over the holiday that's 1.5 million more than last year and expect to pay high gas prices than 2014. how would you like your signature on dollar bill steve mnuchin seems to like it

5:41 am
>> reporter: being a real estate agent has never been the safest job. after all, you're meeting strangers in empty houses. now the risk is even higher due to the opioid crisis. >> when you're talking about opening access to a home, to an environmental where prescription drugs may lie in a medicine cabinet of a house that's listed for sale with doing no vetting or checking on an individual and giving them access to the house, i think we're feeding into a crisis by creating these channels of easy access drugs. >> he's offering real estate firms and licensed agents deep background checks on clients using high-level regulated data from its parent company co-subsequent. not just criminal history but financial and personal information all on desktop or mobile app it's the kind of thing janet tisdale realized she had in

2010 she was hit over the head by a drug addict who booked a tour with her in a $50,000 home he then held her hostage, dem d demanding money. >> i had googled him the week prior and i couldn't find anything out about him, so it made me feel very councomfortab about him. >> she convinced him to go his car to find a piece of paper when he did, she ran and got ahold of a police officer. >> he held me hostage on the front porch for 45 minutes and it was a very scary situation. >> reporter: he saids he technology is not just about raising a red flag but a yellow flag so if even the basic information a client gives the agent isn't true, the ajejt will know not to show up to the meeting alone. >> this is proactive rather than
5:43 am
preactive. in terms of yellow flags as we see them, maybe first of all that the phone number doesn't match who the individual says they are. >> reporter: tisdale agrees the more information, the better. >> i guess i was aware but you think it's never going to happen to you, but it can, it does, and it did. >> reporter: most real estate agents carry some form of self-defense, including pepper spray and a gun. >> it sounds like it's targeting licensed real estate owners but couldn't it be used for homeowners as well >> it could. i've got about lots of calls and e-mails. they've found plumbers, electricians and others rummaging through their cabinet.
