Current Events Financial Planning Needs & Wants Smart Spending

Pandemic reminds us financial education is crucial

April 29, 2020by Susan BeachamNo Comments

One thing is certain – there is a lot of uncertainty around us. One way I am dealing with the uncertainty I feel about the world we are now living in is to be productive. To find purpose in every day. That’s why this weekend I found myself making Chex Mix (a family holiday fav) and mailing it to my girls. (It was a hit, BTW 🙂 .)

The blog you are about to read is not our typical blog. But it’s something we want to share with you – our readers. It is a call to action. It’s also a reminder to remember how we feel in this moment about money. We know that financial education is a critical tool during a crisis.

It’s time to ask the kids for money

February 20, 2020by Susan BeachamNo Comments

The headlines about our children’s financial future can at times be very sobering. Enormous debt is being hoisted onto the backs of our kids and their kids.

I hate to be harsh, but the reality is life is not and never will be fair. Our children’s world is now going to be very different from ours. It will require them to live more frugally, delay more gratification and have much less as an adult than we, their parents, had. And it is our job to prepare them, to make sure they are prepared to deal with and thrive in this new world order. Now, while they are still under our roof.
