.What I Teach My Kids About Money
By Cameron Huddleston July 10, 2019

I’ve been a guest on a lot of podcasts lately talking about my new book, Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk: How to Have Essential Conversations With Your Parents About Their Finances.
As you can assume by the title, I’ve been sharing tips on how adult children can get their parents to open up about their finances so everyone can get on the same page if those children ever need to step in and help their parents.

Occasionally, though, the podcast hosts will turn the tables on me and ask what sort of money conversations I’ve had with my own children. I’ve been asked how I teach my kids about money, what sort of details I’ve given them about my finances, and what works and doesn’t work when it comes to teaching kids about personal finance.

Warning: This post recounts a tale of hardcore MOM advice from yesteryear.

Moms, they’re funny creatures, aren’t they? They lecture us about not getting enough sleep, they threaten to not babysit when we ignore them for too long, they give us constant unsolicited advice on parenting, marriage, and cooking. And yet, no one in the world loves us more.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about all of the advice my mom gave me as I was growing up. Looking back on it, that advice certainly did shape my thoughts and the way in which I operate in this world. Today, I’m going to share a piece of pillar advice I heard from my mom over and over again – “Always have your own money!”

.The Mindset That Distinguishes the Successful from the Average

By Lars Beke

Being the best is not an easy task. That’s just the inconvenient truth. Ask Donald Trump, Anthony Joshua, Usain Bolt, Mark Zuckerberg and other successful people out there, all of them will tell you one thing: Success doesn’t come cheap on a platter of gold. You just have to work for it. That is, you need to do things differently if you want to stand out from the pack. You also need to have a different mindset to be more successful than others.

In fact, the difference between the best and rest is nothing but their mindset – the established behaviors and beliefs held by them. For instance, if you give two people the same time and the same amount of money to start a business, you will still find out that one person will still be more successful than the other.
