All parents want their kids to succeed in life, especially after they have flown the coop. To help kids succeed financially in their adult years, it’s best to start having conversations early on about finances so that they can grow up with a strong understanding and grasp of how to manage their money and what they can do to make smart, sound investments with their own money.
What Is Money Management?
Money management can include topics such as debt, savings, and investing.

Money management is an all-encompassing term that describes how someone chooses to manage their finances. From spending to saving and everything in between, understanding money management best practices can help you retain control over your financial habits. As your kids grow, it is especially important to start teaching them the ropes of money management. Here are some of the basic money management concepts you may want to teach your children about:
Budgeting: Budgeting involves tracking income and expenses while also setting goals for how money should be spent. Teach your children that budgeting can help them create a financial plan to manage their finances and achieve their financial goals in the future.
Saving: Saving is setting money aside for large expenses, emergencies, and things like retirement. Teach your kids that saving regularly can ensure financial preparedness when they make larger purchases rather than taking money out of regular accounts.
Healthy spending habits: Money should be spent wisely. Understanding the difference between financial wants and needs can help ensure better financial decisions are made.
Debt: When large purchases or investments are made, that person likely will take loans out and have some lingering debt. It’s important to teach about managing debt through topics like interest rates and debt repayment.
Investing: By investing money into something, the goal is that the money invested will earn more money over time. Teaching topics like investing in bonds or stocks can help kids understand all the options available to them when spending their money in adulthood.

It was rumoured a while ago that Jonathan
Hickmanwas working on… something, most
obviously a comic again with one of his frequent collaboratorsChris Bachelofor Marvel Comics. We didn't know
what.
Well, we do now. Games Radar has run the news that
they are working on a story for a new Moon Knight anthology, Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood, following the
recent Marvel naming of such books, such as Carnage, Elektra, Deadpool,
Wolverine, and the like.
The project also has the legendary Marc Guggenheim
who has written comic books like Blade, Star Wars: Age of Rebellion, X-Men Gold,
Wolverine, and Blade, and superstar comic book artist/illustrator Jorge Fornes
with credits on Thunderbolts, Wolverine, Dr. Strange, X-Men, Guardians of
Infinity, Avengers and Dare Devil to name a few.
And with a Moon Knight trailer dropped,
with Marc Spector playing the awesome Oscar Isaac (X-Men, Star Wars) sounding
likeAlan Bennett, now is a good time for Marvel
Comics to get press for some of their own stuff as well. Jonathan Hickman
recently stopped writing as X-Men lead writer, and he has teased a big new
Marvel Comics project. This likely isn't it, but it may well fill the gap.
Todd McFarlane is
a Canadian comic book creator, artist, writer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur, best
known for his work as the artist on The Amazing Spider-Man and as the
writer and artist on the superhero horror-fantasy series Spawn.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s,
McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise, on which he was the artist
to draw the first full appearances of the character Venom. In 1992, he helped
form Image Comics, pulling the occultanti-hero character Spawn from
his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. Spawn was a popular
hero in the 1990s and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic
book properties.
Since leaving inking duties
on Spawn with issue No. 70 (February 1998), McFarlane has
illustrated comic books less often, focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, such
as McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, a film and animation studio.
In September 2006, it was
announced that McFarlane would be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios,
formerly Green Monster Games, founded by major league baseball pitcher Curt Schilling. McFarlane used to be a co-owner of the National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers before selling his shares to Daryl Katz.
He is also a high-profile collector of record-breaking baseballs.
As a filmmaker, he
produced the 1997 film adaptation of Spawn starring Michael Jai White. He will make his directorial debut with the reboot film, which
he is also writing, and which will star Jamie Foxx.
His comic series Spawn also
holds the Guinness Book World Record for the longest-running Independent Comic Book in the world when it hit issue #301 in 2019
and has since surpassed those record number of issues with the King Spawn arc
currently running in 2021.
These
are some of my frequently used tips personally over the years I have been a
visual artist and multidisciplinary designer. I hope they help too and develop
other productive habits to level up in your creative hustle in no time.
Inspirational words for
productivity and goal smashing. Words to make you procrastinate less and be
more proactive daily, just get it done.
BULLET FEATURE:
Inspiring design for
goal-oriented individuals and risk-takers.
Wear it proudly to the comic
book store, comic convention, class reunions, or holiday
parties! It also makes a cute birthday gift for friends and family.

Yippee!!! It’s
my great pleasure to introduce the dedicated vlog channels on YouTube,Facebook, and IGTV for my blog. It’s been an
interesting journey of learning about posting articles, driving traffic, social
media networking with digital marketing for me. I got motivated to get serious
with my blog from way back in 2015 to deal with the stress of working at a
crappy job in the busy city of Lagos, Nigeria (which I say in the video). I
actually opened the blog in 2011 inspired by some other popular blogs.
