What are your kids learning about money by watching you? In this episode, John Kennedy, CFP® and Brandon Hatcher talk about the money lessons kids pick up from our everyday habits, language, spending, saving, and even the way we respond to unexpected expenses. They share personal experiences, parenting lessons, and a few things they’ve realized they could do better, all with the goal of helping the next generation build a healthier relationship with money. Because sometimes what our kids catch from us matters more than what we teach them.
