Teaching Kids About Money So They'll Actually Learn

If you're like most parents, you might not feel qualified to teach your kids about financial topics like investing or managing a budget. In fact, 69% of parents feel more prepared to have the sex talk with their children than the money talk, according to a survey from Charles Schwab.

If you hope to raise financially responsible adults, you've got to start when they're young. Personal finance expert Lauren Lyons Cole provides some vital tips.
