🎓 30 Stock-Market Questions Kids Should Know (And Most Adults Too!)
In today’s video, I quiz my 8-year-old son with 30 beginner-friendly questions about saving, investing, stocks, and how the stock market works.

It’s a fun, simple way to see how many your children (or grandchildren!) can answer—and a great way to teach yourself as well.

Unfortunately, schools rarely teach kids about money, saving, or investing.
So this video is for everyone—whether you’re 8, 18, or 80—who wants to understand stocks and investing in a simple and enjoyable way.

🔍 Questions we explore together include:

What is a stock?

What are dividends?

How does a company make a profit?

Why would you buy shares?

What other types of investments exist?

What are the two ways investors make money from stocks?

What is risk tolerance?

…and many more.

This is a perfect video for anyone taking their very first steps into the world of investing.
