The Family Economy with Richard Eyre

from The Family Lab · host Whitney Archibald

It's Money Management month at the Family Lab, and we're kicking it off with author Richard Eyre to talk about the family economy he and his wife Linda set up decades ago.  In this episode, we talk about how to avoid raising entitled children and about why teaching kids to manage money is such a great way to teach them self reliance and responsibility. He'll share how their kids earned money, how they learned to manage it, and how the system evolved as they grew up. And Richard even helps me figure out how to handle the next stage of financial education for my own kids—as they start going to college! You can learn more details about the Eyre's family economy in their book, The Entitlement Trap. And listeners can get 40% off Richard Eyre's new book, The Grandparenting Blueprint.
