01/14/20 • 7 min

Kids Money and More- The MONEY podcast for KIDS!

These days, kids don’t see us use much cash because we use debit/credit cards, gift cards, e-transfers, google pay, PayPal, Stripe etc. This makes it harder and harder to visualize why we need money and the transaction process, because they don’t see it happening that often.

In episode 1, kids will hear all about:

What money is and what it looks and feels like (cash- coins & bills)
What we can buy with our money -things we can see, things we can do and things we can’t see
Why we have to work
