207. Off the record #12: Why My Husband And I Pay Our Kid To Learn

August 06, 2024

Choosing to compensate children based on creating value and learning new skills is an interesting approach to teaching financial literacy and responsibility at a young age. It can instill important life principles around the connection between effort, contribution, and reward.

In today's podcast, I will share how my family changed our kids' allowance. Now, instead of giving a weekly allowance, the children earn money for completing special projects or studying personal development content. The aim is to instill a strong work ethic and growth mindset from an early age.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1. Tying compensation to value creation and learning, not just chores
2. Paying kids to complete special projects that save parents time or money
3. Encouraging personal growth by compensating self-development activities
4. Instilling an entrepreneurial mindset of working hard to earn income
5. Using modern apps and tools to teach financial literacy to tech-savvy kids
