#SchoolCents Twitter Party Details
It’s August and back-to-school season is upon us! The season marks the unofficial “New Year” for kids and parents with new schedules and extracurricular activities. The fresh start of a new school year provides the opportunity to make some new-school-year resolutions to do things like plan ahead, stay more organized, and create better homework habits. It’s also a great time to make financial resolutions.
I’m teaming up with The Motherhood and Capital One to host a Twitter party where we’ll dish on back-to-school money management. We’ll also be chatting with The Money Coach, personal finance expert Lynnette Khalfani-Cox about back-to-school shopping tips and how to use back-to-school shopping as a perfect opportunity to teach kids about important spending and saving habits.
