Burbank CPA Financial Musings: The Smart Way to Teach Children About Money

As kind of a followup to my post yesterday about talking to your kids about how much you earn, it sounds like all the new manditory personal finance training that schools and parents want are not having the desired effect.  See this article in The Wall Street Journal by Charlie Wells for the results of new surveys that show what they should be teaching to help kids with finance:

It appears that more math classes are having a positive effect on kids and their financial well being.  Maybe it allows them to budget better and plan for savings and retirement.  Sounds like something that should be done more in the schools.
