Miami, FL, March 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Empower teenagers and young adults to thrive this Spring Break season, by nurturing, expanding, and reinforcing their financial literacy skills from Family & Money Matters: Life Lessons for the New Generation, authored by renowned Financial Planning Association (FPA®) of Miami-Dade President and Certified Financial Planner® professional Elaine King.
Recently highlighted on PBS, Joe Madison’s Sirius XM Radio Show, LITE 101.5 FM South Florida Spotlite, The Miami Herald’s Education Living & Learning Fall Edition, and Smart Money Magazine, Family & Money Matters encourages parents to play an exemplary role in engaging their children to build healthy money management virtues and responsible decision-making, ultimately preparing them to flourish as financially secure and independent adults.
During this Spring, parents also can take advantage of the tremendously resourceful Family & Money Matters to apply Spring Break exercises and money lessons to teach and cultivate impactful financial planning life skills in their teenage and college-age children.
For example, says King, “Strive to educate your children about the importance of setting aside savings to pay themselves first before paying expenses and impart invaluable teachings on the concept of debt by together reviewing a credit-card statement.” Aspiring to buck a recent revealing Sallie Mae Study trend illustrating the average college senior graduates with $4,100 of credit card debt, Family & Money Matters underscores the significance of teaching teenage kids early how to utilize credit cards wisely for purchases, and to conserve money monthly to attain reachable short-term and longer-term financial goals.
In addition, King recommends parents, “Embark on assisting your children to develop sound financial planning habits by collaborating with them on utilizing online resources and tools, such as Mint.com and National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) websites, to track expenses and help your children establish a Roth Individual Retirement Account (Roth IRA) to allow them to put away earned money for their nest egg.”
Exude the confidence necessary to follow-through on efforts to teach kids family financial literacy values and utilize Family & Money Matters as the copyright to ensure children have the insights and capabilities to become competent and money-savvy adults.
