I can say yes to my wife because I steward this season well. And it's like, one of the things that I'm really teaching myself is as a young man dating right when it comes to my money, is I would rather tell my girlfriends no today so I can tell my wife yes tomorrow. You know what I'm saying?

It's like, I don't have a problem telling them, hey, I'm not gonna spend $100 on a date on you right now, you know, because you may not be my wife. But I refuse to tell my wife no because I told all of them yes. And as I'm maturing and as I'm growing, I'm realizing that the caliber of my financial future and the caliber of my future family's future is depending upon the choices that I made today.

And as I'm maturing and as I'm growing, I'm realizing that the caliber of my financial future and the caliber of my future family's future is depending upon the choices that I made today.

And so I have to be willing and be strong at my core to say no to things that will set me up for my future. And I want my wife to be like, thank you for telling them no. I want my kids, because I remember my mom and dad, unfortunately, I have great parents, but I remember wearing shoes that had holes at the bottom of it and we had to put tape on the bottom of it. I don't want that to be my kids.

I don't want that to be my kids.

And the decisions that I made today impacts that. You know, I want to be able to take my kids to Disney World. That's the only reason why I haven't been. I've dated ladies with kids. Let's go to Disney World. Nope. Mm-mm. Why not? I wanna go there with my wife and my kids. I don't wanna go there with my girlfriend and her kids. I wanna go there with my wife and my kids.

I wanna be able to do things with my family that my family couldn't do when I was growing up. And so I'm learning to, I'm valuing that more. That wakes me up every day.

gets me excited every day that gets me on my YouTube channel every single day because I'm working for them then I'm also working for the community that's cool what's the third thing the parents should be doing more uh the last one we talked about like don't don't tell them the only way to be successful is having 700 800 credit score which goes into one thing that they're not doing enough is really having the money conversation with them early on as possible

You know, I think that parents, as soon as they say mama, as soon as they say daddy, you need to start having a money conversation. Absolutely. Absolutely. What are those conversations they should be having? It's on their level. You know what I mean? If the kid is saying, hey, mom, can I get a piece of candy? Well, they understand that candy. Tell them, hey, it costs money.

Tell them, hey, it costs money.

and show them, hey, you gotta give this in exchange for that. But let's pass that level. Let's start having a conversation with middle schoolers. One of my good friends has a private school in Nashville. I went to read books with them last, a couple of months ago again, right? When I walk into their school, she has a picture of all of her kids on college campuses. These are middle school kids.

Fifth grade. And I said, what are you doing? She said, actually, If you look on this one, those are third graders. And I was like, you're taking them to college. They don't do they even understand what they're looking at? She says no. But young people are impressionable at a very young age. So they will remember like, hey, I want to go here. So I need to work hard right now.

And so it was like we we have to stop saying our young people are young. If they can remember songs, if they can remember famous dances from TikTok, they can remember the conversation around money. So we got to have that conversation as early as possible so that when they get into high school, they are already aware of what's going on with the finances.
