Teaching Kids the Value of a Dollar with Mellody Hobson

Today, we’re joined by powerhouse financial executive and author Mellody Hobson for an eye-opening conversation about how we teach — and often don’t teach — our kids about money. As co-CEO of Ariel Investments and author of Priceless Facts About Money, Mellody believes that the path to financial literacy starts with our youngest learners. Together, Jean and Mellody explore: 💸 Why the biggest money lessons often come from outside the classroom 🧠 How early exposure to financial realities can build confidence, not fear 📊 Practical ways to talk to kids about investing (hint: start with what they know and love!) 🛠️ Whether giving an allowance actually works 🔁 And why bartering is the perfect way to teach kids the difference between price and value. … Does more financial confidence sound good to you, then you might want to try:  🚀 ⁠FinanceFixx⁠ – Our 4 or 8-week coaching program to get your finances on track!  📈 ⁠InvestingFixx⁠ – A club for women ready to grow their wealth.
