What We Do In The Coastal Bend

 National Money Talk Night


As parents, we worry about many things for our children. Most of us, however, don't think about having "the money talk"- talking to our kids about financial responsibility. The first National Money Talk Night will be September 16, 2010. Go to http://moneynighttalk.com/ to find ideas and tools to help parents talk to their middle school/high school/college students about money.
