Your Kid Is Going to Cost HOW MUCH?! | Teaching Kids About Money Before the World Teaches Them Debt

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of This with Krish, we dive deep into one of the most requested topics from parents everywhere: how to teach children about money, saving, investing, debt, and financial responsibility before adulthood hits them like a freight train.

We break down the shocking REAL cost of raising and educating a child in today’s economy — including future projections for college tuition, housing, transportation, books, food, inflation, and more. Whether your child is a newborn or already eight years old, this episode explores what families may realistically need to save if the goal is helping their kids graduate college debt-free.

This episode also shares personal experiences using the Greenlight app to help teach kids how money actually works in real life. From chores and savings goals to investing and spending habits, we discuss how financial literacy can become part of everyday parenting.
