Your teen has been accepted to the college or trade school of their dream. Soon they’ll be starting a new phase of discovery and challenge for their future. For many, the teen years may be the first time they start to earn money of their own. Goal is to get teens involved and try new finance informational sources like the money brighter blog. When they learn financial literacy at an early age, they become less impressionable to the attitudes of money held by the adults around them. Once kids know proper money management skills, they tend to keep them and use them throughout their lives. For those who are just starting their very first business, consider managing your finances with the help of a business cashflow protection service. 

Undoubtedly, finance is one of the most important aspects of a business. With huge funds, daily cash flow and continuous transaction, managing and monitoring all of the above turn necessary. … To be specific, financial management helps the organization determine what to spend, where to spend and when to spend.

Understanding their finances is an important step upon high school graduation and before heading off to college. Do they understand the difference between good and bad debt, the real cost of life, how to read a paycheck or create a budget? Establishing good money habits can pay dividends well into the future.

Teen Finance 101 runs 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, April 24, 2019, at the Brighton District Library. The program, presented by Josh Bitel from Center for Financial Planning, will teach teens how to establish credit, what interest is, how to write a check, and more. Preregister for this program by calling (810) 229-6571, ext. 227.
