Money Smart: Budgeting for Teens

How to Save Money, Spend Wisely, and Start Building Your Future Let's talk about money. Not the boring stuff adults argue about, like mortgages, taxes, and electric bills. We're talking about your money. The money you get for your birthday. The allowance you earn. The cash you make mowing lawns, babysitting, walking dogs, or working your first part-time job.

Others make $40,000 and slowly build financial security. The difference often comes down to how they manage what they earn.
