TMIT 08: Family Money (+ Experiment Update)

🎙️ TMIT 08: Family Money

In this episode, we explore how to make the implicit explicit when it comes to money at home. This isn’t a how-to talk about chores and allowances (no jars labeled Spend, Save, Share here). Instead, we reflect on the subtle ways money influences us—and how to start naming (and questioning) those influences out loud.

TMIT about Family Money: Accept that money influences our family culture, whether we realize it or not.

Our 3-step process to becoming more intentional about money:

1. Reflect on our own money beliefs.
2. Normalize money talk within our family.
3. Invite kids into the process.

We also discuss:

• Why reflecting on our own money stories is the first step (shoutout to Money Scripts by Dr. Brad Klontz).
• What kinds of low-stakes, everyday money stories we want to start sharing with the kids.
• A moment from Way of the Warrior Kid, where a boy buys a $2 junkyard bike and spends the summer fixing it—highlighting the value of hard work, creativity, and time well spent.
• How what we value highly (in our case, time) determines many of the choices we make daily—and what that means for the next generation.
