EP 62 - Laura Weston - Raising Financially Savvy Teens

Teaching your child financial literacy is one of the best life skills you can teach your child. For some parents, money matters are not what springs to mind when they think of how best to support their children. However, Laura Weston believes that having a healthy credit rating is even more important than the big milestones we tend to associate with growing up - like moving into your first home. Our kids are no longer expected to have a ‘job for life. Conversely, they are now being encouraged to have a career portfolio - and a variety of income streams.   We are talking about how best to equip our children for more financially stable adult life. In this episode, we discuss what parents can do to educate themselves and their children in understanding how to make your money work for you. Want to hear more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~~~ More about Laura Weston : “After enjoying a 20-year career with one of the World’s Largest Banks, Laura is the founder of a financial coaching business, Savvy Peacocks.
