I’m passionate about finance, and specifically personal finance! I mean, I wrote the book!
So the other week, I was excited about getting my kids into their own personal finance journeys. I went to the bank and broke a couple of 20’s into $1 bills. I was excited that I had a stack of cash that would change my kids lives. They would be motivated to earn money. They would be obedient to their dad so they could get their rewards. They would start saving and investing and multiplying their assets as they compounded their investments.
After doing a chore, I excitedly ran to my room and opened up the bank envelope and pulled out a crisp $1 bill.
I couldn’t wait to see the look on my 9 year old boy’s face when I rewarded him with a fresh dollar bill, unsolicited!
“Dawson, here you go, buddy! Thank you for doing the dishes!” I held up the $1, and waited!
