Ask the Readers: How do you teach your children about net worth?
Back in 2008, Holly P left a comment on J.D. Roth’s article about teaching kids to invest saying:
“I’d love to know how your sibling got your nephew to think about actually saving. Despite repeated efforts to get them to save, my kids want to spend every cent as soon as it hits their palms.”
It’s a common problem for parents. They see the need to teach good financial habits to their children, but the realities of finding what works for each child complicates their discussions about money (as Lisa Aberle explained in her recent post, “How to raise a frugal child.”) The comments are like a treasure trove of great advice on just about every post, but Troy’s response to Holly P’s quandary years ago really stood out to me as a particularly good approach:
“… I tell my kids that each December I will match 100% of what they have saved and not touched for the previous year. They get $20/month, are required (our rules) to save at least 20% of it, but can save as much as they like. My wife and I match their YTD savings (not cumulative, but what their new savings this year) 100% each December when we get our bonuses… they LOVE that, and it’s a great incentive for them to save. They also understand that whatever they save is to STAY in savings or be moved to other investments… once they put it in the savings pot, it stays there. The siblings see how much each other’s “net worth” has grown to, and given that they all receive the same “income”, but have very different “net worths”, the power of saving early and holding it is peer-driven.”
Sometimes rearing kids feels like so much trial and error, but Troy’s approach employs all the elements of teaching the principles of net worth you could ever hope to have in one simple, fair, incentive-laden technique!
The point of saving
At Get Rich Slowly, we naturally concentrate on saving money as an important discipline to develop in our financial lives. But it’s not about saving for the sake of saving; it’s about adding to your net worth every year – year after year.
It’s also about starting as early as possible to maximize the power of compounding. And so what could be better than to help kids understand the concept of net worth while they are still young?
Even though our children are in their 20s and 30s now, it’s not too late to open the conversation with them about net worth and how to build it. I think they will welcome any discussion that has their best interests at heart. Still, as important concepts go, it isn’t necessarily the easiest thing to convey to kids, especially if they’re young.
How did you learn about net worth? If you have children, how do you teach them about net worth?

Blake Lively And Jason Clarke Say All I See Is You
Marc Forster's new psychological drama
He decided a while ago not to come back for another bout against the undead hordes with the World War Z sequel, but despite having several irons in the development fire, it would appear Marc Forster has locked in his next film. He’s signed up Blake Lively and Jason Clarke to star in All I See Is You .
Forster wrote the script for this one with Sean Conway and it finds him back in the sort of brain-tickling thriller territory he explored with 2005’s Stay. All I See will star Lively as a blind woman whose sight is restored. But while that would surely count as a reason for celebration, her repaired vision means she can now see all the undiscovered details about herself, her husband (Clarke), her marriage and their lives together. If she thinks that’s a problem, wait until he explains about the force of intelligent apes that lives just outside their home city... No, it probably won’t tie into Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, but we can dream, can’t we?
Lively will next be seen in The Age Of Adaline, which is out here on May 8. Clarke has several films coming up including Terrence Malick’s Knight Of Cups, Child 44 (out April 17) Terminator Genisys (July 3) and Everest, which arrives here on October 2.

How an Email Newsletter Publisher Built an Audience of 223,991 Subscribers
Brian and I have been talking about his new curation-based email newsletter lately, and I thought it’d be interesting to have a similar conversation with someone in a completely different topical market.
It’s about one person writing and curating a topic he knows and cares about, building a massive email audience over a period of four years, then turning all that work into a sustainable business.
And hang in there, even if you have no interest in (or understanding of) programming, Javascript, Ruby, or HTML5, you’ll be able to apply the lessons of this episode to your own business …
In this 39-minute episode Peter Cooper and I discuss:
- How this programmer became a major content publisher
- Why he switched from blogging to email newsletters
- How he promoted his newsletters in the early days
- What he learned from one of the world’s best Tetris players
- Where the majority of Cooper Press’s revenue comes from
- The only social network that really works (for him)
- His approach to opt-in conversion optimization
- His best two pieces of advice for starting a curated email newsletter
