Where do your best money habits come from? As a kid, did you have chores and earn an allowance? Were you told all debt is bad? Or maybe your family never talked about money growing up? Our guest today grew up with family mantra that she can still recite perfectly today, a “repenting bench,” and a chore list that required bidding and negotiation. Paige Cornetet learned awesome lessons from her father as a kid about money AND life. He taught Paige and her three siblings in a way that was fun and engaging. Paige shares some of those lessons today and ways to help teach your own family, friends, or yourself about money.
In our headline segment, we’re breaking down the Inflation Reduction Act. How can it help you save money on energy costs? We’ll share! We also answer Rachel’s question about when and why to sell her investments. And of course, Doug will share his amazing trivia.
Enjoy!
