We Grew Up on MTV… Now We Need a Financial Planner
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We didn’t grow up learning how to budget, invest, or plan for the future — but somehow we’re expected to have it all figured out as adults.
In this episode of Herm’s House, Kristin and Herm sit down for an honest conversation about family finances, financial planning, and the money habits we inherited (for better or worse). They reflect on how their upbringing shaped their relationship with money, why having a financial advisor isn’t just for the wealthy, and what it looks like to unlearn bad habits while raising kids of their own.
The conversation blends real-life parenting challenges, nostalgia for the MTV era, and the reality of adulthood — where financial decisions carry more weight and planning ahead matters more than ever.
This episode is for anyone who grew up on pop culture, learned money lessons the hard way, and is trying to do things differently for their family.
