Are our children on track for financial literacy? Money isn’t everything, but it is a reality that all of our children will need to learn to manage. What can even the youngest children learn about personal finance? What skills and responsibilities should we expect them to have as they mature? What can children learn from the budgeting, planning and investing processes? And how can we protect their identity and credit in a increasingly electronic financial world? Financial literacy is a life skill that won’t emerge without our thoughtful attention. Join us for this practical tutorial moderated by Bob Sacco, faculty member of The Hun School and the following panelists:
