We’re Leaving Our Kids Broke:  The controversial truth - Episode 141: Raising Financially Literate Kids   In this compelling episode, hosts Ildiko Ferenczi and Dan Caldwell dive deep into the pressing topic of financial literacy for the younger generation. Born out of a spontaneous discussion, they decided to prioritize and shed light on the pivotal question: should parents leave a fortune to their kids?   Challenging traditional norms, the hosts passionately advocate for instilling values of hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and financial intelligence over merely passing down wealth. Ildiko shares a touching story about her mother’s determination and the values she instilled in her, highlighting the importance of resilience and self-worth. Both hosts stress the significance of exposing children to the world of finance, business, and investments from a young age, ensuring they’re prepared for life’s challenges and not just cushioned by wealth.   Drawing from personal experiences, Dan recalls the business acumen he acquired from observing his grandparents, emphasizing the vital role of parents and guardians in shaping a child’s financial future. The conversation takes an intimate turn as they discuss hopes for their own children, envisioning them as empowered individuals who can stand strong in their personal and professional lives, irrespective of their gender.   They touch upon the urgency of introducing financial vocabulary to children, discussing savings, investments, and the broader world of entrepreneurship. The episode beautifully underscores the idea that children should not be shielded but rather included in the family’s financial journey.   Amidst light-hearted banter and real-life scenarios (like the interruption of their kids during the recording!), this episode is a goldmine for parents entrepreneurs. If you’re aiming to raise children who are not just monetarily rich but rich in knowledge, values, and resilience, this episode is a must-listen!   ps Please when you leave a review please leave your @ handel so we can get you a surprise!     Connect with us!   instargram:   https://instagram.com/spicylilpepper (https://instagram.com/spicylilpepper)       https://instagram.com/tapoutpunkass (https://instagram.com/tapoutpunkass)        https://instagram.com/prettyandpunkpodcast (https://instagram.com/prettyandpunkpodcast)        TikTok   https://www.tiktok.com/@prettyandpunkpodcast (https://www.tiktok.com/@prettyandpunkpodcast)        https://www.tiktok.com/@spicylilpepper1 (https://www.tiktok.com/@spicylilpepper1)   Facebook   https://www.facebook.com/prettyandpunkpodcast (https://www.facebook.com/prettyandpunkpodcast)       https://www.facebook.com/spicylilpepper1 (https://www.facebook.com/spicylilpepper1)       Youtube     https://youtube.com/@PrettyandPunkPodcastTV (https://youtube.com/@PrettyandPunkPodcastTV)     https://youtube.com/@spicylilpepper (https://youtube.com/@spicylilpepper)         websites     https://prettyandpunk.com (https://prettyandpunk.com)     https://ildikoferenczi.com/shop-must-haves (https://ildikoferenczi.com/shop-must-haves)
