@Mneiae, You aren’t a dork, you’re a genius! I wish I was smart enough to manage my money when I was your age. I’m not that far off but if i displayed the financial discipline like you have, I’d be even better off. Those peers that called you a dork will be the same ones asking you for help because of their financial mistakes.

Keep it up Kiddo!!

I think for teens, the most important thing is instilling in them a strong work ethic. When they have to go make $8hr, they really start valuing money.

I know I did when i started working for $3.30/hr at McDonald’s in the 90′s. What a crappy job, but it helped me grow so much!

I’m 18 and I totally advocate financial literacy in my peers. I’m the “dork” who uses Mint to figure out where she’s spending her money, but I shake it off by telling them that I’m a finance major. Personally speaking, I use Mint because I have a debit card and it’s the best way to figure out where I’m spending my money. I used to keep around a bunch of cash, but then I would be $700 down and have no idea where it went. I like Mint because it keeps track of everything for me and breaks it into spending categories. It’s an excellent tool and the interface is very easy to work with.

My debit card is through Chase. They offer a debit card to teenagers (13 and up) as long as their checking account is linked to the parent’s account. While not every kid can handle a debit card, my suggestion is to give a kid plastic as soon as they get a car. Running out of gas because you don’t have any cash on hand is pretty brutal.
