A8: Embrace your inner kindergartner and ask, "Why?" Get curious about your relationship with money, the financial systems impacting your life, and what changes you want to see in your life and community. #CreditChat

@johnlanzajr Yes! Early and often money conversations go a long way in building stronger financial futures.

A8: Be prepared to start teaching your kids about money from a very young age. Toddlers have money awareness and you want to be ready to begin a lifelong open conversation about money. Here's a useful timeline of money topics, demo.theartofallowance.com/parents/financ…. #CreditChat

A5: Money is emotional and resources are limited. In classrooms, our educators and students are actively innovating out of necessity. We embrace collaboration to make change happen. We never want money to be the reason we’re not talking and teaching about money. #CreditChat

A4: We envision a world where financial education is as prevalent as reading programs and our shared money stories shift narratives that have held back our communities for generations. #StudentVoices Why Talk About Money Word Cloud #CreditChat

A3: By starting money conversations, where we break down barriers and let each other know that money is a tool and a process—you’re not wrong, you’re not bad at money, and you’re not alone. Our programs are community cyphers where everyone is a learner and a leader. #CreditChat

@Experian A2: Making change starts with talking about money together and increasing access to financial education. In classrooms and communities across the country, we’re unpacking money myths and financial questions through project-based learning. #CreditChat

@Experian A1: It creates change, Financial education is an intergenerational tool for self-care and social justice. Talking and teaching about money is a revolutionary act with the power to transform lives and communities. #CreditChat
