Welcome
Welcome to CliftonCorbin.com I’m honoured to have you join the community of parents who want a bright financial future for their children.
I believe that parents are the key to creating financially literate adults because you are your children’s best teacher.
My mission is to give parents the tools and skills they need to ensure their children are financially literate and ready to manage in a world where the use of money is constant.
Parents and children are all individuals with different learning styles. I respect that, so I have created articles, stories, and activities to help you learn and teach these concepts.
If it’s your first time here, we know all of the information can be overwhelming, so I’ve created this page, with some of my very best resources, to get you started.

STEP ONE: JOIN THE COMMUNITY
I post new resources frequently, so I’ve created a newsletter to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
I tweet personal finance resources too, so please connect with me.
If there’s a topic that I have not covered or you want more insight – Let me know! I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. I answer every email I receive.
STEP TWO: DIVE IN
I focus on Financial Literacy because it is important to me, and I have a feeling it is important to you too. But let’s be honest Financial Literacy is a broad topic. It covers anything you can do with your money. I have a lot of articles written with even more on the way. While I hope you read everything.
