CNBC recently highlighted a critical life skill that parents should prioritize from an early age—teaching kids about money. Financial literacy isn’t just a school subject or a future concern. It starts at home, and the earlier it begins, the better prepared your child will be.
At UNest, we know that every family wants to give their children a strong foundation. That includes helping them understand money, savings, and making smart financial decisions.
Here’s how you can use UNest to instill financial confidence in your children from the start:
- Start the conversation early
Even preschoolers can learn about the value of money through simple lessons like saving coins in a jar. As they get older, involve them in setting goals for their UNest account, like saving for a future trip or first car. - Make it visual and engaging
UNest’s interface makes it easy to show your child how their savings grow over time. Let them see how their choices (and yours) have real impact. - Celebrate milestones together
Did your child’s account hit $100? $1,000? Acknowledge those moments and discuss what they mean. It builds pride and motivation. - Lead by example
When you invest in their future with UNest, you show them the importance of planning and delayed gratification. It’s a living lesson in responsibility and love.
As CNBC notes, building financial confidence is a journey. It doesn’t require a finance degree—just intentional conversations, regular involvement, and tools that support learning.
By integrating UNest into your family’s money habits, you’re not only saving for your child’s future—you’re giving them the tools to shape it.
