As a fellow finance writer, I simply had to see which article you chose, and I was not disappointed. I’m currently thinking through how to teach my partner’s son about money and interest, and this is a great lesson! I’ve done a lot of work with kids in the past and I appreciate your notes about how to keep it kid friendly. With that said, I imagine reading this article has helped some adults better conceive of how interest works, too.
Thank you so much, Sarah. Means a lot to me. I've spoken with kids enough times -- either my son or in classrooms or other circumstances -- to know that they're definitely interested in learning about money. If you talk in their language, they'll listen and they'll take it in. (And you can have a little fun with it, too.)
