How do you raise children who understand the value of money in a world where almost every payment is digital?

In this episode of Leadership Tea, Shelby Smith-Wilson and Belinda Jackson welcome back financial experts Sam Salmon and Josh Barrett from the State Department Federal Credit Union to discuss practical strategies for raising financially confident kids.

Together, they explore allowances, saving, budgeting, first jobs, spending habits, and how parents can build healthy financial mindsets through consistent conversations, not fear or shame.

Whether you're raising young children or preparing teenagers for adulthood, this conversation offers practical ideas that leaders can apply both at home and at work.

In this episode:

• The biggest mistake parents make when teaching kids about money

• Why communication matters more than the size of an allowance

• Helping children understand needs versus wants

• Teaching financial responsibility in a cashless world

• Preparing teens for their first paycheck

• Why it's never too late to build better money habits
