In this interview, she discusses raising money-smart kids and &#8220;Generation Broke&#8221; (you guessed it &#8211; our current generation!).

I wish we had done this ages ago!

 We took advantage several weeks ago of a free service from our bank (TD). We created child bank accounts for each of our teens (14 and 17) and gave them debit cards to access them.

Now, when they want money from their virtual family bank account at Active [...]]]></description>

If you're a member of Active Allowance, you'll probably remember this scenario and have some sympathy for the Millers. ]]></description>

Here&#8217;s an interesting post from an early stage Generation Y&#8217;er (born late 1970&#8217;s) commenting on a disturbing trend for late stage Gen Y&#8217;ers &#8211; kids in their late teens.
