7:32 am
that. we always say, stop and think, do i want it? will i use it? can i afford it, before you buy it. >> we differentiate from wants and needs. things they need, i'll provide for and want, they need to work e buying candy. >> me too. that's a wide range of money wisdom. how do we raise financially literal children? sharon epperson, it's great to have you back here. >> great to be here. >> how early this should start. are we talking about pre-k? >> start as soon as possible. preschool, actually. you can start talking about things like this because my little girl loves to have a candy bar. that's a great time to start talking about, do you need to have that candy bar or just want to have that candy bar? let's talk about how to kind of delay your gratification for getting that candy bar untthe e of the school week or
7:33 am
have dessert after dinner. >> make sure they realize there's not limitless quantities of everything. >> exactly. exy. little to begin with 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. to wait and want something for a little while. >> what do you do when your kids are in elementary school? ramp up the lessons? >> start talking more about other money lessons so important and how do you spend and how do you save and how do you spend wisely and start talking about comparing prices when you go to the grocery store with your kid. this is why i'm buying this, this is on sale and it's the one you like. it's a lot of this one today but not the more expensi product. this is the time to start thinking about an allowance or some people say paying for chores. my view and a lot of experts i've talked to say when you are paying your kids for chores, that gets into negotiations that may not be something to do. when it comes to allowance, if
7:34 am
to be consistent and that you need to make sure that you set the ground rules for how they're going to attain that, whether t by a dollar for how old they are or another method but just be consistent. >> that's interesting. the idea you don't want an allowance in return for chores because it's a negotiation and you should be doing chores because you're part of the family. >> exactly. exactly, but also a good way for kids to learn about how to manage their money, so as the young woman saidthere, she learned how to do that as a child and now as a young adult, better able to manage her money. >> you've picked up more. maybe you have a real job. >> to start to introduce the idea of, you have certain things, other people might not have what you have. teach them a little bit about the income disparities that are out there. maybe by helping them do some volunteer work or something
7:35 am
>> that's a good idea to got them introduced to that and then in high school, that's where prioritizing and b adults often do well, you sta to teach your child. there are a lot of school activities they're involved in and many may not be free. which ones are you going to do? are you going to pay for your own school lunch or buy your clothes or be one to pay the phone bill or go with friends on the weekend and how are you going to budget for those items? the biggest mistakes when kids and the money? >> not talking about it. the hardest thing is to admit you made a financial mistake but even harder is to discuss it with your important to really talk about money. having those conversations lets them know it's not the value on it because often what they see us do is use a credit card, go online and things appear. it's not magic. there's a value to it. there are intere charg if we're using the
7:36 am
the month. those are things they need to know so they don't happens. >> you think about apple pay and venmo and that's pretty difficult concept for adults sometimes and then things like bitcoin do. you talk to your kids about that? >> i don't talk to my kids about that because a stage, want them to learn the value of money by seeing money. i try to, when i can, use cash. so they see it. the reality, 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 e skeconcepts in digital currency as well. >> i really apprecia it. >> here's a look at what's making news as we head into a new week "on the money." spent more in october than november, but not much. retail sales rose by 0.2% last

celebrities and at one point, i'm like, they've got good clothes. i need to do better with it. i didn't say who i was and i was like, i should launch this. and a large social media and we noticed a lot of body shaming going. why not bring in mentors to speak with them? that's how it came together. >> what's th girls and the organization? >> it's been amazing. a lot of them say now they've got the confidence to go to their first dance and never had a new item before. want to ask a boy to the dance and a girl who was a talented musician and didn't have anything to wear to her recital so we gave it to her. the other thing, we wanted to try to tie the donations. the second donation to like, some kind of achievement. so i asked all of them to set a goal and say, i come back if you achieve this goal. i'll give you anothe
