A Very Special Interview…With my 4 Year Old Son

I decided to have a little interview with my son and ask him a few money-related questions. I hope you enjoy the answers as much as I did – especially the answer to #5 LOL

1.) How old are you?

(No answer, just a gesture of four fingers)

2.) Do you like money?

Yes.

3.) What do you like about money?

That why I can go somewhere with dollars.

4.) How much money do you have?

One hundred.

5.) How much money does mom and dad have?

Zero.

6.) How much money is there in the world?

One hundred eight in all the world.

7.) How do you get money?

From Grandma.

8.) What is a bank?

Keep your pennies safe.

9.) If you had $100 dollars what would you do with it?

You can buy a four wheeler.

10.) How much money would you like?

One hundred.

BEST INTERVIEW EVER. I hope you video taped that so you can show it to your son’s college friends when he’s older.

Hehe – I liked #7 too. I’m waiting for my mom to see that

Unfortunately, I didn’t tape it. I thought about asking him some questions a while ago, and he was sitting by me today interested in what I was doing, so I just rattled off questions to him and typed away.

Sounds like he has a definite future in the world of finance. With four kids and me at home I’m always interested in money-saving tips and your blogs looks like a great place for those kinds of things. I’ll have to visit again.

I am definitely doing this with my four-year-old brother. This was classic, cute, and adorable, and actually very insightful.

I was thinking of interviewing my 4 yr old (by video)but just general questions. I can’t wait to add some of your questions to my list of questions.
It’s never to early to teach about finances.

Great interview
