Knowing the fundamentals of money and knowing how to teach them to kids are two very different things.
In this episode of Women's Money Wisdom, Melissa Joy, CFP® sits down with Charlotte Geletka, CFP®, owner of Silver Penny Financial Planning and co-author of Battery, the Bulldog and the Funny Money Tree, to talk about what financial literacy actually looks like at every age.
From the tooth fairy to teenager debit cards to the real cost of college debt, this conversation meets families where they are and gives them tools to do better.
Because the earlier the conversation starts, the better the outcomes.

Today, Charlotte had the opportunity to speak at a local middle school for Career Day. She shared what financial planning really means and how money decisions today shape tomorrow’s opportunities.
Financial confidence starts early, and we’re always honored to be part of that conversation.

Some of the most important money lessons don’t happen in offices or classrooms - they happen at home.
Our founder, Charlotte Geletka, believes financial confidence starts before adulthood. Writing a children’s book about money with her son was one small way to make those conversations feel positive, empowering, and accessible.
We can’t wait to share it with you on March 17th.
