Talk to your kids about money

JPMorgan Chase is set to host a financial education event on Sept. 26 from 12 to 1 PM at the JPMorgan Chase Community Center in Oakland. Aimed at parents and nonprofits, the event will focus on fostering financial literacy among children of all ages. Attendees will learn how to engage their kids in discussions about budgeting, saving, and money management, which are crucial skills for their future. According to Bankrate, 59% of Americans feel uncomfortable with their emergency savings, underscoring the need for financial preparedness.

The event encourages parents to start conversations about financial habits early, helping children distinguish between needs and wants. Open to all community members, registration is recommended for those interested in attending. Participants can reach out to the event coordinators for more information. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to enhancing financial literacy in the community.
