Dr. Stephen Day--author of Teach a Kid to Save: A Fun, Hands-On Approach to Building Smart Money Habits--joins the show today. The book offers a hands-on, research-based guide to teaching your kids about the wise use of money and the value of work through an innovative, interactive mini-economy where kids have jobs, earn a play-money income, make a plan for their money, shop at the household store, and even create their own businesses. Teach a Kid to Save includes lessons on rest, generosity, saving and spending as well as a quick-start guide, templates, visual aids, conversation starters, and a special appendix for homeschools. Dr. Day also shares how fatherhood inspired the book and how he views money through a biblical lens.
Dr. Day is a term associate professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Business, director of the VCU Center for Economic Education, and chairperson of the Virginia Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. He has helped hundreds of teachers create mini-economies in their classrooms.
