What Parenting Can Teach Us About Money
Changing the way we think (and talk) about money—by connecting parenting, patience, and lifelong learning.
💡 Key Insights:
- Parenting skills and money management share the same foundations: patience, long-term thinking, and communication.
- Financial confidence comes from effort and learning—not knowing everything upfront.
- Acknowledging “you don’t know what you don’t know” opens the door to better decision-making.
📌 Why It Matters:
Your approach to money often mirrors your approach to life. Building patience, focusing on values, and passing financial wisdom to the next generation can strengthen both your finances and your family bonds.
✅ Action Steps:
- Teach your kids one money value this week—start with patience or long-term thinking.
- Reflect on one financial lesson you learned from a family member and how it shaped you.
🗣 Tony’s Take:
"Whether it’s parenting or investing, focusing on the process—not just the results—creates the most lasting rewards.
