Todd's Tip of the Day!

Parents, here's three financial skills for your high schoolers: 1.Set your teen up with a checking account, debit card, and budget. When they mess up, resist the urge to bail them out. I know that might seem crazy but it's better to teach them now than when their on their own.2.A good goal is to stash 10% of every allowance, birthday check, etc. You might even sweeten it by matching a percentage of savings.3.Just 9% of college kids pay their credit cards off every month. Help your kid understand the value of being in that minority.
