•
Melanie
If you’ve ever frozen at the words, “Can I buy this?” or felt unsure how to teach your kids about saving, budgeting, or earning money—this one’s for you.
Melanie sits down with Samantha Aycock—mom, realtor, and former CPA firm co-owner—for a no-fluff convo on raising financially smart kids without guilt, overwhelm, or Pinterest-worthy chore charts.
We cover allowance rules, money mindsets, helping kids understand real-life costs (hello, Amazon habit), and how to stop passing down financial baggage. Plus, Samantha shares the genius way she has her kids invoice her for chores.
