  • Raising Money-Smart Kids: Lessons from Dr. Julia Myers

    Raising Money-Smart Kids: Lessons from Dr. Julia Myers
    Nov 21 2024
    Are you ready to ditch the money shame and raise kids who are financially savvy and confident? Then grab your coffee (or wine, let’s be honest), because this is a must-read! We had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Julia Myers, a pharmacist, healthcare executive, and a mom of FIVE, who’s on a mission to empower families with generational wisdom—financial wisdom, that is.Dr. Myers’ story isn't your typical “I had it all figured out from day one” narrative. She struggled with a lackluster financial education growing up, and a health crisis unexpectedly changed the course of her career. This event became her “aha moment,” the launching pad for her mission to teach kids (and parents!) about money.Dr. Myers stresses that teaching kids about money isn’t just about handing them allowance. It’s about creating a culture of financial wellness that integrates seamlessly into family life. Her approach is less about strict budgeting and more about building a solid financial foundation through open communication, shared experiences, and playful learning.She reminds us that the old notions of "the American Dream"—a house, a job, and a pension—no longer apply in the fast-paced world of millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. Today's world is all about adaptability and embracing the power of multiple income streams. Dr. Myers encourages parents to help their children cultivate the same entrepreneurial spirit that they need to navigate this new financial landscape.Five Key Takeaways from Dr. Myers' Interview:Start Early: It's never too early to start teaching your kids about money. Even young children can grasp basic financial concepts.Open Communication: Make money a regular topic of conversation within your family. Break the taboo!Gamify the Learning: Leverage apps and fun activities to make learning about money engaging and less intimidating.Digital First, Then Physical: Introduce kids to digital financial tools early. Yes, the digital world is scary, but it's also unavoidable.Teach Values over Budgeting: Focus on building your family's financial values before delving into strict budgets.Dr. Myers’ own journey is punctuated with humorous anecdotes—from her kids' hilarious encounters with cash-only laundromats to their surprisingly savvy approach to budgeting for their first car. These stories illustrate the importance of empowering kids to learn from their own experiences, even the mistakes.She's a strong advocate for teaching kids to pursue their passions, even if that means juggling multiple income streams, side hustles, or even skipping the traditional college route. The emphasis is on return on investment (ROI) of their education—a timely reminder for any parent facing the daunting costs of college.Dr. Myers also shares valuable resources, including her own website and the DinnerTable.com community, designed to bring families together for supportive discussions on family finances. Whether you are struggling with basic budgeting or navigating complex investment strategies, Dr. Myers encourages you to redefine your own money story and share it with your children.Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Connect with Dr. Julia Myers HERE!Love the show?

Grab your coffee (or maybe a Starbucks, if you're feeling fancy!), because this one's a rollercoaster!This Money Monday is all about the thrill of the hunt. We’re wading through a treasure trove of notes – 284 to be exact (that’s a LOT of spreadsheets!) – and we’re sharing our secrets to sorting the wheat from the chaff (or, you know, the good notes from the ones headed straight for foreclosure). We've got a special focus on reverse mortgages – those sneaky little deals where the payments are often, shall we say, unconventional. Think dollar payments: Yep, you heard right. One dollar.Main Points Covered:Reverse Mortgage Mania: We break down the telltale signs of a reverse mortgage (hint: look at those P&I payments!). Learn how to spot them a mile away, and how to navigate the potential pitfalls and profits. Florida, with its sunshine and…unique reverse mortgage situations, takes center stage.Location, Location, Location (But Seriously, Avoid Chicago!): We're not shy about sharing our opinions on the best (and worst!) states for note investing. Illinois and New York are getting the boot—trust us, you don’t want to tango with Chicago's real estate drama. However, Florida and some other states are good places to focus your attention.Spreadsheet Shenanigans: Get ready to unleash your inner Excel warrior. We walk you through analyzing a spreadsheet with more columns than you can shake a stick at—loan numbers, master IDs, delinquent statuses, bankruptcy filings, and more. Prepare to become a spreadsheet superhero.Equity Exploration: The holy grail of note investing? Equity! We'll show you how to calculate it, spot those hidden gems with positive equity, and formulate a winning offer. Get ready to uncover some seriously sweet deals.The Heirs’ Dilemma and Other Foreclosure Fun: Sometimes, the borrowers in reverse mortgages are…gone. We delve into the sometimes crazy world of dealing with heirs and navigating the complexities of foreclosure – and yes, we’ll even touch on the occasional Ouija board joke.Beyond the Spreadsheets:We talk strategy. What are your investing goals? Cash flow? Quick flips? We unpack diverse investor goals and strategies, showing how to tailor your approach to your personal financial ambitions. We even tackle HOA issues and those pesky hurricanes that can really shake things up.More Than Just Numbers:This isn't just a dry run-through of data. We sprinkle in plenty of humor, real-life anecdotes, and our tried-and-true investing wisdom. It's a fast-paced, informative, and, dare we say, entertaining episode.Don't Miss Out!Want a deeper dive?
