Teaching a child about money can be a daunting task, but you might be surprised that even kids under the age of 10 can gain a very good understanding of how money works.
Here are a few money habits that can be taught early:
▪️Compare prices
▪️Practice waiting before purchasing
▪️Set a goal
▪️Learn the difference between wants and needs
▪️Understand the consequences of rash money decisions
The best lessons often happen in real situations such as grocery shopping or everyday conversations.

National Preparedness Month is a reminder that being prepared goes beyond emergency supplies; it also includes being financially prepared.

Here are three important steps to take:

Make a Plan
Create an emergency plan that includes important financial information, account contacts, and a way to access your finances if you're away from home.

Build Savings
An emergency savings fund can help cover unexpected expenses, from car repairs to medical bills. Even small, consistent contributions can add up over time.

Protect What Matters
There are many ways to protect your financial information. Use strong passwords, monitor your accounts, be cautious of scams, and keep your important documents in a secure place.

Preparedness is about taking small steps today to help protect your financial security tomorrow. This National Preparedness Month, take the time to make a plan, build your savings, and protect what matters most.
