Do you want to raise your kids to be smart about money, but don't know where to start? If so, today's episode is for you. Our guest John Lanza of Snigglezoo will help us learn the ins-and-outs of financial education for kids and his book The Art of Allowance. We discuss when we should start talking about money with our children, the real purpose of allowance (hint: it's not to get your kids to do chores), and how to help our kids learn about money when maybe we don't feel like we're doing everything right ourselves.   About the Guest: John Lanza is on a mission to help families raise money-smart, money-empowered kids so they can live happier, more fulfilled lives. To that end, he has written The Art of Allowance along with three other children's books. John is the creator and Chief Mammal of The Money Mammals, an award-winning DVD and youth savings program for credit unions nationwide, all built around the core Money Mammals mantra, “We'll Share & Save & Spend Smart Too!” John's mission began with a simple question, “How can we raise our kids to be money smart?” He and his wife realized quickly that financial literacy was vital not only for their own six month old but for all families and The Money Mammals were born – a pioneering program to get kids excited about becoming money smart. Then The Great Recession hit. It further underscored the need for financial literacy learning for all Americans and it provided the backdrop for John to begin testing out the basic tenets of what would become The Art of Allowance: A Short, Practical Guide to Raising Money-Smart, Money-Empowered Kids with his kids, now fifteen and thirteen. With so many families falling prey to the dangers of our consumer-oriented society, John found that his message was resonating, including the importance of teaching kids the impermanence of stuff, the things we own. Because children are targeted at such a young age with messages with messages to spend, it's now clear that parents should start early in order to raise money-smart, money-empowered children.

Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating: Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn't fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn't want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.

John Lanza and his wife recognized early on that they had very different money personalities. When they became parents 16 years ago, they agreed they wanted to raise money-smart kids and they wanted to find a way to make it fun. From there, they created The Money Mammals where John serves as Chief Mammal.  The Money Mammals is a cast of animal characters who sing, dance and talk about financial literacy. Their mantra is "Share & Save & Spend Smart Too!" The Money Mammals has been licensed to credit unions across the country and has also been adopted by many schools.

John Lanza, financial education expert and Chief Mammal at MoneyMammals.com, joins the podcast to talk about why financial education should start early, finding ways to make it fun and experiential, and in what sense money might actually be able to buy happiness. 

How can we raise money smart kids? John Lanza is on a mission to help families raise money-smart, money-empowered kids. He has written The Art Of Allowance to better help parents do that. John is also the creator and Chief Mammal of The Money Mammals, an award-winning DVD and youth savings account program.  John knew early on that he wanted his kids to be money smart. He noticed how both he and his wife viewed and used money in very different ways. They came from similar frugal backgrounds, yet one was a saver and one a spender. John wanted his kids to become empowered when it came to money. That's why he developed these money smart tools. Yes, the same tools he uses within his own family. What does it mean to be money smart? Being money smart means that you are not just smart about spending. It is the idea that you are making money choices anytime you receive money.It is understanding and using money as a tool.John introduces key money concepts that we can use to help our kids:1. Saving For GoalsGoals are powerful lessons for our child. Goals should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based. John talks about ways we can incentivize our kids to save.2. Distinguishing between needs and wantsSatisfaction from something you buy can be fleeting. The sooner kids realize this, the better. We talked about why a waiting period before they buy can help this process.3. Making Smart Money ChoicesBeing smart about your spending. This means think when you buy. Always pay yourself first. Save, Spend and share- charitable giving helps well-being. John also talks about the "why" behind using clear jars instead of the old "piggy bank". But what about the famous (or infamous) methods many still use today to teach about money? Allowance vs Chores John goes in to depth on the topic of allowance and chores. He is very clear in explaining why they should be separate. They teach very different lessons.He then took the time to explain how we can create an effective allowance program with our kids.  I found so much value from this episode. I also found value from his book, The Art of Allowance~ A short, practical guide to raising money-smart, money-empowered kids. What I enjoyed about this episode is the open dialogue he creates around the topic of money. And I know that is one of his key messages. For parents to have open, empowering, positive conversations about money with their kids. I also like that he says it is not a one size fits all. For success, follow exactly what I say. No, he says that we must be mindful of the differences in our kids. There will be mistakes. But that is okay. What needs to always be there is communication. It's a team game. I'd love to hear your thoughts.We will have an upcoming Q&A with John. What questions do you have for him?

In episode 35 of the FamilyPreneur podcast we meet John Lanza! He has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The LA Times. He's is the Chief Mammal of The Money Mammals, teaching kids to “Share, Save, & Spend Smart.” I'm excited to explore issues related to money and allowance with John, who recently wrote a new book for parents: The Art of Allowance: A Short, Practical Guide to Raising Money-Smart, Money-Empowered Kids! The topic of financial literacy is important because we want our kids to develop the skills to make and manage their own money. John advocates for giving your child an allowance, but not tying it to chores. He sees allowance as a teaching tool, not a hand-out. We should ensure that our kids understand the reason why they are getting an allowance - that we're giving them money so that they can learn lessons such as wants vs. needs, saving for goals, and making smart money choices. Chores teach a different lesson - that you need to work to earn money. He goes into more detail explaining the differences between the two lessons, how he determines what lessons to implement, and how he teaches those lessons. He shares his recommendation for how much of an allowance you should allocate for each child. He recommends $1 per year of their age - so a 5-year-old receives $5, up to the teen/tween years - then things change. For all kids, he follows a rule that splits all income into 3 "banks" - Share (charitable giving), Save (for long-term goals), and Spend-Smart (thinking about the money they spend). That being said, he also recommends 3 clear jars - so they can see the money that is accumulating in them. When it comes to saving, you want to be saving for a goal - not really the idea of saving for a "rainy day." Their first goal should be attainable within 2-6 weeks. They need that more immediate gratification in order to learn the lesson - the idea of a rainy day is too abstract. The goal should follow a "SMART" acronym: Specific - Scooter - put a picture on the jar Measurable - how much it will cost and how long it will take Attainable - it wont take too long and they will be able to purchase it Relevant - it's a goal that they want Time-based - identify how long it should take Teens/Tweens (between 10-14 years old) follow a "Breakthrough Allowance." They receive $100/month - but they are responsible for more expenses including: all their clothes, communication (cell phone), birthday/holiday presents for their friends, food out with their friends. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you think about all the money you spend on what they want as you go - it's likely less this way, plus it's teaching them those essential budgeting skills. Throughout this episode John provides tons of examples and tips and tricks when it comes to helping to raise your kids money-smart. Skills that all of our kids need to develop! I love how he talked about his personal experiences with his kids as they grew from kids to teens and how that process has changed. I ask him questions about one of my biggest pet peeves - when my kids blow their money on things that I disapprove of - and how parents can teach these skills if they're not confident that they are money-smart themselves.
