Planning for Your Child’s Financial Future

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher are joined by Jamie Boehm, AVP of Digital Experience at Affinity, to discuss planning for your child's financial future. 

Key discussion topics include: the importance of teaching kids about money at an early age, ways to introduce financial concepts, technology that can help parents teach financial responsibility, and more.

Following the main discussion, the team shares their response to a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: I’ve always avoided getting a credit card because I was worried about overspending, but now I’m thinking it’s time to start building credit and earning rewards. What should I look for in my first card, and how can I make sure I’m using it smartly without falling into bad habits?

Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s partnership with Greenlight, a debit card and app that teaches teens how to spend, save, and invest money wisely.
