You’ve done well with your money. Should you tell people online how well you’ve done? Maybe even show your 401k balance or your savings account? One piece in today’s headlines segment has an opinion, our roundtable team will share theirs on today’s podcast! Today Len and Paula are joined by CFP Katie Brewer, who helps us dig into another topic: One millionaire received some FANTASTIC money advice at age 18. We’ll ask Katie and our team what the best advice is they received growing up about money. You’ll be surprised by their answers.

We also answer Scott’s three-oh call for help to the Blooom hotline. His parents and in-laws are asking him for money advice. Should he give them advice or send them to a financial planner? On top of that, we’ll also answer a letter from another listener, share Doug’s trivia, and more.
