Money lessons don’t start with a bank account — they start at home.

As we celebrate Global Money Week, here are four foundational principles that apply at every age:

👉🏻 Model the behavior you want to see.
Kids are always watching. Let them see you budgeting, paying bills, and making thoughtful saving decisions.

👉🏻 Keep conversations open.
Normalize talking about money. Use everyday moments — grocery trips, sales, online purchases — to explain cost, value, and smart choices.
Make it hands-on.

👉🏻 Give age-appropriate opportunities to earn, save, spend, and give. Real-life practice builds real confidence.

👉🏻 Turn mistakes into lessons.
If they spend it all, resist the urge to bail them out. Small money mistakes now can prevent bigger ones later. And if finances feel tight, be honest — explain that you’re making choices to live within a budget. That transparency builds resilience.

Teaching kids about money isn’t about perfection — it’s about preparation.

Follow along this week as we share tips for every age group!

So what do you do when you know or suspect that you are the target of a scam?

1️⃣ Block unwanted calls and text messages and avoid answering calls from numbers you don't recognize.

2️⃣ Never give your personal or financial information in response to a request that you didn't expect. Honest organizations won't call, email, or text to ask for your personal information, like your Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers.

3️⃣ Resist the pressure to act immediately. Anyone who pressures you to pay or give them your personal information is a scammer - even if they claim to be the government or law enforcement. Always get off the phone and call the business, organization, or entity who claimed to call you via a trusted phone number to verify the caller's claims.

4️⃣ Know how scammers tell you to pay. Never pay someone who insists that you can only pay with cryptocurrency/bitcoin, a wire transfer service, payment apps, or gift cards. Never allow someone to remote access your computer then log in to your bank accounts. And never deposit a check and send money back to someone.

5️⃣ Stop and talk to someone you trust. Before you do anything else, tell someone - a friend, family member, or the organization that claimed to call you (through a trusted phone number) - what happened. Talking about it could help you realize it's a scam.

Report scams to the FTC. If you were scammed or think you saw a scam, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov
