Forget traditional allowances. When my kids are old enough to grasp what money really means, we're diving into something different. We'll pick apart actual businesses together—study what they make, dig into their numbers, figure out why some thrive while others tank. Instead of handing them cash every week, I'm paying them in equity. Let them learn by owning, not just spending.

This approach is brilliant—much more practical than any financial literacy class. It lets them experience the feeling of ownership from a young age.

honestly this is peak wealthy parent theater... paying kids in equity so they "learn ownership" but really just teaching them to live in your portfolio. bet most of these kids end up paper hands anyway once they taste real losses lol

This approach is still a bit idealistic. Can real kids actually understand equity?

Haha, this approach is brilliant—using equity instead of pocket money is way more effective than any financial management class.

Oh my, this approach is brilliant—it's a hundred times smarter than my dad just handing over money.
