As a financial advisor and the mother of two boys, making sure that kids understand real life money concepts is important to me. Habits around saving, investing, and philanthropy can be established when children are young. So I was pleased to share some ideas which were highlighted in two magazines recently. I was quoted in the January 2012 issue of Washington Family magazine in the article “Starting a Piggy Bank Teach Savings Early” and in the January/February 2012 issue of Calgary’s Child magazine in the article “Help Your Kids Be Money-Savvy.”
