Ideas&Insights Speaker Series at Fay School

Fay School is delighted to welcome New York Times columnist and bestselling author Ron Lieber on Tuesday, September 19 at 7 pm for a special presentation about how, when, and why to talk to kids about money.

During his presentation, Ron will cover the basics -- allowance, chores, phones, and college, but his overarching focus is on values. As adults, what we spend, how we save, and where we give says a lot about who we are. Every question that our kids ask -- from how much money we make, to why we live where we live -- is an opportunity to impress our values upon our children. Ron will walk parents through all of these conversations and explain when to have them and what to say.

Ron Lieber has been the “Your Money” columnist for The Times since 2008. Before coming to The Times, he wrote the “Green Thumb” personal finance column for The Wall Street Journal. His first book, Taking Time Off: Inspiring Stories of Students Who Enjoyed Successful Breaks from College and How You Can Plan Your Own, was a New York Times bestseller in 1996. His most recent book, The Opposite of Spoiled, published in February 2015, was an instant New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller.
