Answering Kids' Financial Questions
Season 7 - Episode 7
In this week's episode, I answer financial questions for middle school students.
1. "Does everyone need a budget?".... Everyone needs a budget to make sure you have more money coming in versus going out.
2. "How do I make money now?".... Odd jobs, tutoring, mowing lawns, dog walking, car washer, yard work, assistant, etc.
3. "What leads to making more money later?".... More education--college, trade, certifications, etc.
4. "How do you do your taxes?".... Defer to a professional like a CPA or accountant. There is online software, but you have to be aware of the limitations pertaining to your situation.
5. "How do I stay out of debt?".... Use a budget.
