For parents

More than ever before, it pays to teach kids the principles and skills they need to manage their money in the future.

Why is it so important? Young people leave tertiary education with big student loans, change jobs frequently and have to know how to choose between a range of financial products and institutions. Sorted Kids & Money helps kids get the confidence they need to manage their money at home, school and beyond.

You don’t have to be an expert yourself to get your kids started. All you need is the time it takes to introduce them to the ideas involved and the trade-offs we all have to make between spending today and saving for tomorrow.
