  Teaching Kids to Save: Unlocking Smart Money Habits

  Aug 13, 202622 minS1

  On this episode of The Vault , host Amelis Long is joined by FNBO Community and Employee Involvement Manager Johnny Nesbit to explore why teaching kids to save is about much more than money—it's about building confidence, decision-making skills and lifelong financial habits. Johnny shares why it's never too early to start financial conversations, how parents and caregivers can make everyday moments like grocery shopping into learning opportunities and why helping children understand the value of money early creates a stronger foundation for the future. Together, they discuss practical ways to introduce concepts like budgeting, saving and spending in age-appropriate ways, while emphasizing that modeling healthy financial behaviors is just as important as talking about them. The conversation also highlights FNBO's commitment to financial education through hands-on community programs like Mad City Money, Junior Achievement and partnerships that bring money lessons to life for students. Johnny explains how interactive experiences allow kids to make financial decisions in a safe environment, helping lessons stick in ways traditional lectures often can't. The episode wraps with a fun segment featuring kids sharing their candid thoughts on their parents' spending habits, along with a discussion about the financial challenges today's youth face—from social media and digital payments to lifestyle comparison—and why Johnny remains optimistic about the next generation's curiosity and willingness to learn.
