Are your kids ready to handle their finances like pros? Join Joe Haslam and me, Adam Richardson, as we tackle the often-ignored yet crucial topic of financial literacy for the younger crowd. In a world where piggy banks have evolved into digital wallets, this episode promises a treasure trove of insights for parents and youngsters alike, all while sharing a good laugh at the quirks of growing up and learning about money.

From the sweet nostalgia of childhood allowances to the eye-opening demands of teenage financial independence, we weave personal anecdotes with practical advice. We reminisce about our own entrepreneurial escapades—like Joe's hilariously elusive lawn-mowing payments—and discuss why these early experiences matter. As we share these stories and strategies, we explore how they lay the groundwork for a future of savvy spending, saving, and earning.

But it's not just about the money; it's about the values behind it. We confront darker issues, such as unethical practices and their consequences, through a shocking incident at a funeral home. These moments underscore our belief in the power of integrity and honest work, whether that's a neighborhood job or simply understanding the worth of a dollar. Tune in for a heartening mix of wisdom, warnings, and wit that will leave you with a fresh perspective on how to guide the next generation towards responsible and ethical financial behavior.
