Did you know that 90% of families lose their wealth by the third generation? In this thought-provoking episode, Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner unpack how our earliest experiences with money—whether it’s growing up with scarcity, abundance, or something in between—profoundly shape our financial mindsets as adults.

Jimmy reflects on turning 40, childhood memories of bankruptcy, and how those experiences created a scarcity mindset he’s had to actively overcome. Justin shares insights from working with clients whose core money beliefs—formed in childhood—still drive their decisions decades later. Together, they explore how to move from victim to victor when it comes to financial identity, and how to help your children build healthy money habits even in an environment of abundance.

From practical parenting tips to mindset shifts, this episode blends personal reflection, financial psychology, and real-life stories to help you rewrite your own money narrative—and guide the next generation to do the same.
