Why Money Education Must Start at Home

In today’s digital world, young learners interact with spending and saving long before they understand it fully. From in app purchases to online subscriptions, financial choices show up daily. That’s why financial learning must start young, not optional. 4MQ’s mission is to ensure children grow up with strong money skills.

Why Early Money Education Matters

Money habits develop at a young age. The basics of budgeting and choices develop before age twelve. As the national curriculum moves toward money competence, there is a major shift toward financial capability. Adults need clarity and supportive resources to bring financial lessons into daily life. This is where 4MQ helps, offering practical, modern, and engaging learning experiences.
