Episode 50: Raising Kids with a Healthy Money Mindset with Chris Farrell
/Can I be real with you for a second?
Adulting can be really freaking hard for me sometimes...
Especially when it comes to money...
As a kid, my parents did a LOT right when it came to teaching me about money, including investing small amounts for me for college and encouraging me to always save/invest part of my income (think birthday money) by "matching" it. But most of the time that all happened out of my sight and without my active involvement. So when it came time to go out on my own, I really felt woefully unprepared for managing my own finances. As a parent, I really wanted to do it differently with my own kids
And I think I'm not alone in this, right?
Harnessing this skill is important in navigating our life, which is why it is so surprising that our education system doesn't really teach us much about financial literacy, right?? We need this to survive in life and as a parent, we want to equip our children with financial skills so that when they grow up, they will be wise in handling money.
And so, I'm excited for you to hear Chris Farrell who is an expert in this field and is SO passionate about educating young people about money and business. Chris and his business partner launched their foundation FUNancial Freedom where they help kids set up for a successful and FUN future.
Listen to our FUN conversation and learn how to help and teach our kids:
