Raising Tiny CFOs: How to Talk to Your Kids About Money

Almost none of us chose the money mindset we grew up with — it got wired in before we were old enough to question it. And whether you've got kids, nieces, or just a future version of this conversation in your head, you're shaping someone's money story right now. This week, Maddie and Meghan get specific: the scarcity phrases worth retiring (starting with "money doesn't grow on trees"), the swap that teaches kids prioritization instead of fear, and why modeling calm money behavior matters more than any phrase you choose. They also walk through a real earn-tax-save-spend system running with a 4-year-old, why letting kids make small money mistakes is one of the cheapest lessons they'll ever get, and the three-hat framework — customer, employee, owner — that quietly dissolves the belief that investing is "for other people." Pick one thing. That's the whole assignment.
