What Are You Teaching Your Kids About Money? It’s never too early or late to start teaching your kids about money. Here’s why: If you don’t teach them, someone else will and that “someone else” is often social media, advertisers and consumer culture that fuel a toxic cycle of comparison. This can lead to a self-esteem crisis where children believe happiness comes from possessions. In 401Kid, Walter Clarke draws from over 30 years of experience in finance to offer a groundbreaking approach to financial literacy. His method transforms money lessons into meaningful parent-child connections, providing tools for age-appropriate conversations. The book teaches essential principles including: Creating value and impact that leads to earning income The power of delayed gratification in building wealth Why investing early builds financial freedom and generational wealth How to apply The Five Faces of the Dollar framework This isn’t just about budgets–it’s about shaping a child’s understanding of value, responsibility and self-worth. When you teach your child about money, you don’t just change their future–you change yours. Your child is watching. Make sure they’re learning the right lessons.
