Money Advice from Kindergarteners...

I definitely wouldn't ask them for any stock tips. (I put the kids' initials in parenthesis if you want to know who said it!)

1. What do we need money for?

  • To have a good place to live. (AY)

  • To eat at restaurants. (KDS).

And a very funny conversation between myself and AB:

AB: My mommy pays money to work.

Ms. Warner: No actually, I think it's the other way around. Your mommy gets money for working.

AB: Noooo....

Ms. Warner: Yes.

AB: You mean she gets money for working?

Ms. Warner: Yes.

AB: That doesn't make any sense!
