LinkedIn post from Julie Pinkerton continued ...

But, even if you are already a working adult, many people would likely say that their financial skills could use a dusting off and others would admit that they never really learned them at all. This especially hits home when they are raising their own kids and want to give them the best possible start in life they can...

Great to see Northern Santa Barbara County United Way & CEO Eddie Taylor featured in the Santa Maria Times chamber of commerce spotlight & be one part of their build a better community strategy. Eddie shares:

"... very few people can have a high level of impact and create real meaningful community change on their own. But, when residents come together and each do a little they can bring about real changes and shape the future of our communities...

...don't think that tax preparation is the most exciting financial programming that the United Way NSBC has planned for this year... “Sammy Rabbit’s Money School” is being piloted in our area early this year for a rollout planned for later in 2023..."

...We had such an interesting dialogue today in the Females and Finance Community at our Sip & Savor Networking event (held every Thursday morning at 10am CT.)

Today, we talked about Kids & Money - and let me tell you the ideas FLOWED!

Some thoughts were shared on:
💰Savings accounts
💰Using real cash so they know how it works, looks, feel, etc.
💰Teaching children boundaries around money (ex. they are trying to save for something and then flounder and give it away when pressured by a sibling or friend to borrow or spend it)
💰Systemic issues around kids, money, poverty, and financial education
💰Credit card usage (like Greenlight accounts)

... and it just went on and on.

This is one reason we work with Sam X Renick, Founder - SammyRabbit com when it comes to talking about money and children.

If we really want to change communities, you've got to reach parents and children. Colleges and high schools are great, don't get me wrong, but financial education is a big problem and it's gonna take a village ...

Thank you Sheryl Hickerson, FLMI,CEO of Females and Finance Community
