In this episode of Money Talk with Tiff, special guest Maya Corbic shares her insights on getting kids started with investing at a young age. Maya explains how parents can normalize money conversations with kids as young as 4 or 5 using simple concepts, then get them more involved around age 8 by explaining things like savings accounts, CDs, and stocks.

Maya discusses her approach of having kids invest half their gift money, starting with individual stocks in companies they know and then moving up to ETFs and index funds. Her book "From Piggy Banks to Stocks" aims to explain investing basics in a 10-year-old-friendly way.

Tune in to hear Maya's tips for raising financially savvy kids and her own journey learning to invest as a first-generation immigrant.
