They've got a lot more time on their side to build wealth, to take care of their future, to do the things they need to do to create the life that they have. So whether that's investing or earning their own money or choosing career paths that work best for them, they've got time on their side. We're a little older. We don't have as much time, maybe not as much energy either to make all these things happen. So we're gonna have to make some decisions that are really best for our personal future.” - Andy Hill Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction to the episode 02:36 - Meet our special guest, Andy Hill from Marriage Kids and Money 04:01 - The importance of teaching kids to become independent 06:44 - Establishing boundaries with older children 09:32 - Teaching kids family and financial responsibilities 14:55 - Deciding between saving for college and retirement 19:18 - Last words of wisdom 23:12 - Resources for teaching children about money and financial planning 24:44 - Andy's book recommendation 26:30 - Connect with Andy For easy step by step directions and worksheets on getting your budget together and done in 30 minutes a month, download my FREE Budget Starter Kit on www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start And if you enjoyed the podcast today and got some great takeaways, I’d really appreciate it if you followed the Money Mindset Podcast so you don’t miss out on future episodes Resources and Links Mentioned: * A free section of my new course Make My Kid a Millionaire!: www.marriagekidsandmoney.com/AshelyP * Budget Starter Kit: www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start Book Recommendation: * Die With Zero by Bill Perkins Connect with Ashley: * Instagram: www.instagram.com/budgetsmadeeasy Connect with Andy: * Website: www.marriagekidsandmoney.com * Instagram: www.instagram.com/MarriageKidsandMoney * Facebook: www.facebook.com/MarriageKidsandMoney * Twitter: www.twitter.com/AndyHillMKM * LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/AndyHillMKM Special Guest: Andy Hill.
