About this episode
Regina McCann Hess discusses the importance of financial literacy and practical ways for parents to teach their children about money.
Most adults were never really taught how money works. They had to figure it out on their own, often through trial and error. In this episode, Regina McCann Hess joins CBS News Philadelphia consumer reporter Josh Sidorowicz on the In Your Corner podcast to talk about why financial literacy matters and how parents can start teaching kids about money in everyday life.
