Really looking for advice and thoughts. We live and are tax residents in France. Dad is totally uninterested in doing anything with
I have 4 teens, 1 x 19, 2 x 18, 1 x 15 and myself (53).
I've said that I will give them each €30 / month to invest, but that it has to be invested (so preferably not in a Livret A, which is typically at 3%). If needs be I can do some capital each too if necessary. I appreciate it's not much, but I want to teach them to be a little more questioning and interested. Also I think it is an amount that they will be able to afford to take over themselves when they are earning, so giving them the habitL
My plan is to get together every 6 months or so and compare how we are each doing.
So here is a list of things I think I need to cover. Please add anything you think I've forgotten. Or correct anything I've got wrong.

- What are your investing ethics? Sustainability, environmental, pure profit, elderly, health, tech or whatever
- Cost of living - and that you should be getting more from your investment than that if possible
- Fees
- Taxes and when they are applied (so for shares they'll be 30% if there are dividends + capital gains when they are sold).
- What do you want to invest in? I'm thinking of ETFs for myself (with dividends or reinvesting?), but maybe an SCPI like moniwan (which also has a savings plan) would be something to look at, any other ideas??
- How long term do you want this to be? (I'm saying a minimum of 5 years)
- Apetite for risk
- Diversification
- A look at the vocabulary and what they need to know / understand.
- Inflation rate
- Savings accounts (Livret A, Livret Jeune, LEP, PEL, CEL, Term deposits)
- ETF
- Stocks
- Dividends
- Compound interest
- Fonds communs de placement
- Obligations
- Performance
- Volatility
