NEW YORK – At the supermarket, Jamie Corum sets a two-minute timer for her 10-year-old daughter to look around. She then resets the time to 10 minutes so her daughter can decide on a purchase, taking into account her budget and how much taxes she will have to pay.
Corum and her wife make it a priority to teach their three children financial lessons by engaging them in exciting activities to stimulate their interest in topics such as saving and budgeting.
