About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of investing for children's future rather than just saving in a bank account.
The question a grandparent asked me this week. They had been tucking money away weekly for their grandchildren and wanted to know if they were missing something by not investing the money. They currently save it into a bank account. Great intentions but times have changed a bit! Over long periods of time, investing can dramatically outperform cash sitting in a bank account. So how do we go about it? Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!
