A habit is simply defined as a particular practice, custom, prevailing character or quality; and/or a dominant or regular disposition. Therefore, financial habits can easily be described as your money spending or saving habits; basically, how you manage your finances. In this session, we are taking a look at our teenage daughters and how we can help them manage their finances better, without necessarily becoming thrifty. The world is generally in need of good knowledge of financial literacy, and parents are required to play a vital role in helping their teens acquire this knowledge. It is never too early to start talking to teens or children about good financial habits that will save them a lot of headaches later in their lives.
