About this listen

 How do you teach your kids to actually handle money—and not just spend it? In this episode, Paula sits down with personal finance expert Rachel Cruze to break down practical ways to raise financially confident kids. Rachel shares why it’s important for kids to earn their own money early through chores, learn to divide it between saving, giving, and spending, and even open their own checking accounts before they leave home. Plus, the hilarious story of how Rachel and her sister hustled snacks at their dad’s office (Dave Ramsey!)—and what it taught them about real-world money skills. Rachel also explains why a little struggle is healthy—and how letting kids make small financial mistakes now can save them from major ones later. If you want your kids to grow up with real-world money smarts (and grit), this conversation is a must-listen. LIFE HAPPENS. Let’s Talk About It.
