Teaching Your Kids About Money — Even When You’re Still Figuring It Out

About this episode

Curtis and RJ discuss how to teach kids about money while navigating their own financial challenges.

Curtis and RJ dig into the most asked parenting question of all time: how do you teach your kids about money when you’re not exactly a financial role model yourself? RJ reflects on raising his now-adult kids — Josh (32) and Armanda (30) — sharing the real lessons that stuck and the mistakes that became the best teaching moments. Curtis brings his own money confessions, and together they break down the Three-Jar Method, allowance strategies, age-by-age tips, and why being honest might be the greatest financial gift you can give your child. 🛒 Strong Coffee Company - Protein Coffee 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: HELPFULL https://strongcoffeecompany.com/discount/HELPFULL
