About this episode
How can we teach our kids to understand how money works in real life before real consequences happen? Join us today as we talk with one of my favorite conference friends, Charla McKinley of Beyond Personal Finance! Charla explains how she created a fun and interactive homeschool finance curriculum with the goal of training kids to make informed decisions about realistic careers that fund the housing and expenses that form the future lifestyle they envision.
Charla McKinley graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Finance. She went on to become a Certified Public Accountant with over 25 years experience in both corporate and private sectors. While homeschooling her two children, Charla was inspired to write an interactive personal finance curriculum that opens the student's eyes to the high costs of being an adult. After retiring from homeschooling, Charla continues to teach teens in Raleigh, NC and across the country using her Beyond Personal Finance curriculum.
Charla’s passion is teaching teens that their choices matter. She is a firm believer that in order to prepare teens for the road ahead they must be given the opportunity to practice making good (and not so good) choices using real dollars before they get out into the world and have real regrets. "You've got to raise the kid that you have. You've got to notice notice their problems and walk them through it, and you... don't necessarily save them from the trouble. Help them navigate through the trouble." - Charla McKinley
