What have you done to teach your kids to earn and manage money?

We are working on a new book about teaching kids to manage money. We believe that financially un-trained children could cost parents their retirement savings. And when we say kids we mean kids of any age. We're regularly hearing stories of adult children draining their parents' retirement savings with requests for financial bail-outs.  

Will you share your story? We're looking for real-life solutions from real-life families. What have you done with your kids that has been successful when it comes to teaching them to work, save money and spend it wisely?

Our book is divided up into the following age categories.

• 0 to 5
• 6 to 11
  
• 12 to 17
  
• 18 to 22
  
• 23 and older
