We have talked before about teaching kids about finances and how to handle bank reconciliations, credit cards, insurance, mortgages and savings.

More important is that you are getting involved in these teaching ideas and may be learning right along with your children, so you may be teaching more than just them.

Burbank CPA Financial Musings: What’s the best credit card for retirees?
Retirees should have debt levels as low as possible, but sometimes they have to use a credit card. If so, they need a card that can save them money in one form or another.
