About this episode

This episode discusses how high-income professionals can financially support their adult children without fostering entitlement.

How can high-income professionals and first-generation millionaires support their adult children or grandchildren without creating a sense of entitlement? When does financial help empower the next generation, and when does it accidentally hold them back? In this episode, Charlie Mattingly sits down with Amelie Riendl, an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC), to tackle the complex emotional and financial dynamics of giving to "adult-ish" kids.
