Money Habitudes® for Teens

Money Habitudes® for Teens explores how people behave around money and why this matters to teens – especially in their own lives. For example:

  • How money works and affects our lives.
  • Different approaches to handling money – spontaneous, practical, carefree, security, generous, and more.
  • The symbolism of money – as a sign of power, status, love, safety, independence, spontaneity, loyalty, and more.
  • The influence of family, media, culture, and life events on habits and attitudes.
  • The advantages and challenges of different approaches to money.

A key goal is helping teens to understand their individual financial patterns. The Money Habitudes® for Teens card game, integrated into the lessons, offers a fun, engaging way to uncover this information. The game also helps build awareness of their values and reveals new choices in many areas of their lives.
