Hi! I'm Cherie. Single mom to a soon-to-be-teen budgeting and investing are important goals. Unfortunately, with only one income, sometimes it's hard to make ends meet, let alone invest. I'd love to talk about how we can invest in our families..financial and otherwise.

I think the best thing to prepare your tween/teen is to do a monthly budget meeting. Show them the budget, get their input and make it a learning experience. Involve them, and they will start to understand what is a good deal and what is a waste of money. Good luck.
