Kids can start learning the basics of investing from a surprisingly young age. Here are some age-based ideas for how to instill investing knowledge:

[{"selector":"#anim-4f01a4d4-88ea-4680-90c6-1b84d1702813","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7373bf73-c6ba-48cc-bba4-d716710a6635","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-90.79229%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

You can get them started with an investment account much earlier—perhaps as soon as they have some extra birthday or holiday money.
