Children with a good financial education are more likely to avoid debt, be prepared for emergencies, and have the capacity to purchase autos or homes, or support their local communities.
Parenting is the starting point for financial literacy, and it is important for parents to begin teaching their children money management skills and values early on.
As parents you may agree, but may be wondering when it's best to introduce certain financial topics. We've put together a short article (link below) with educational tips that are tailored for children preschool through high school.
We all want the next generation to be successful. Children at any age can learn how to manage debt wisely, invest for the future, and become knowledgeable consumers. Teaching our kids to earn, build and save gives them financial tools they can use for a lifetime.

My five-year-old nephew visited me last week and I was amazed at how savvy he was at navigating my computer to watch his favorite shows. Although I found him to be very clever, it made me wonder what else he had access to and what parental controls, if any, were in place for someone so young.
How risky is it for kids to be online?
Risks to kids vary depending on age, gender, online exposure and other factors. This could range anywhere from online bullying to accessing inappropriate websites to sharing too much personal information. Scammers have also learned that kids can be a gateway to obtaining your personal information too.
However, there are simple ways to make them aware of the online risks and help them build skills to avoid becoming a victim.

Mid Oregon hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its new corporate headquarters and eighth full-service branch, located at 557 SW Bluff Drive, in Bend’s Old Mill District. The 15,945 sq. ft. three-story building is expected to be completed by early 2025.
The facility will feature a full-service branch, drive-thru teller and ATM lanes on the ground floor. Additionally, Mid Oregon's executive leadership, wealth management, commercial services, and several back-office departments will relocate, providing much-needed space for the credit union's growing staff of 150.
“This project would not be possible without the support of the Central Oregon community and our loyal members,” said Kevin Cole, President and CEO.
