130. Raising Money-Smart Kids Without Losing Your Mind This Summer

Your kids are home, the snack requests are endless, and every outing comes with a price tag—welcome to summer! But what if those “I’m bored” moments could actually build your child’s money mindset?

In this episode, I’m sharing how to use the summer months to teach your kids about money in fun, practical, and totally doable ways—without going crazy or blowing your budget. From commission charts to lemonade stands to cereal aisle conversations, you’ll discover how everyday moments can become legacy-building lessons.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why allowance isn’t the best way to teach money—and what to do instead
• How to set up an easy summer commission system your kids can manage
• The power of “give, save, spend” jars for younger children
• How to use real-life moments (like chores or grocery store runs) to spark financial conversations
• One simple action you can take this week to start raising money-smart kids
