In this episode of Master Your Money, Nate Tanner dives into one of the most common parenting questions today: should your kid have a debit card? From the emotional power of cash to the convenience of digital tools, we explore how to teach kids financial responsibility in a world that’s going increasingly cashless. You’ll learn how to know when your child is ready, how to use Spend, Save, Give jars to build foundational habits, and how to translate those lessons into the digital world. Plus, Nate shares a personal story about a lost dorm key, a $125 lesson, and the power of earned money.
Whether your child is 6 or 16, this episode will help you raise a money-smart kid who leads their dollars with purpose.
