From Allowances to Assets: Teaching Kids Financial Literacy

Send us a text

Ever wonder how to secure your child's financial future in a world where piggy banks are replaced by digital wallets? That's exactly what we're unpacking in this newest episode of Lunch with Sandy, where we're serving up a hearty portion of financial wisdom. Our conversation takes you through the journey of instilling the value of a dollar (or cryptocurrency, if that's your jam) from the sandbox to the boardroom. With our nearly two decades of marriage as the backdrop, Sandy and I don't shy away from mixing in personal anecdotes with hard-hitting advice, revealing how our own daughters are learning to navigate the economic waves with savvy and grace.

Today's chat isn't your typical lecture on savings accounts and budgeting - although we've got plenty of that too. We introduce our fresh-off-the-press segment "I Got Something to Say," where we let our hair down and get real about the frustrations and triumphs of property management. And it's not all about the Benjamins; we delve into the significance of relationships and communication, especially within a marriage, as foundational pillars of any solid financial strategy. With each story and strategy discussed, we're peeling back the layers on what it means to truly prepare our kids for the financial realities of adulthood.

As we wrap up this episode, our hearts are full with the hope that our shared experiences and the insights we've gathered will inspire and empower not just our daughters, but also your children. Guiding the next generation through the intricacies of investing, real estate, and the responsible use of credit is more than a lesson; it's a legacy. So, pull up a chair and get ready to be informed, entertained, and perhaps even a little challenged, because this is one family table where the conversation about money is anything but taboo.
