Episode Synopsis

Part 2: The Parent Playbook to Raising Money-Smart KidsMoney talks don't just shape marriages - they shape the next generation. In this episode of Life Engineering, I sit with senior wealth advisor Steve Sebag to break down a practical, values-first approach to raising money-confident kids: the Save/Spend/Give system, modeling generosity, smarter allowances, when to pay for "above & beyond," and how to introduce investing and compound interest early-without overwhelm or shame.Key takeaways:Start as soon as they can count. Use three jars: Save / Spend / Give to make money tangible.Model what you want to see: intentional purchases, tipping, generosity, trade-offs.Allowances teach budgeting; tie extra pay to above-and-beyond work (not basic chores).Make money talk normal, not taboo; secrecy breeds anxiety.Introduce investing & compounding early-$50/month + time beats later perfection.Calibrate support: ask, "Is this empowering or enabling?"Let culture & values guide big choices (tuition vs. home vs. business), not comparison.Aim to pass financial wisdom, not just wealth: earn → budget → invest → give.About Steve:Steve Sebag is a Senior Wealth Advisor & Senior Portfolio ManagerWith over 25 years of experience in wealth management, Steve Sebag is a distinguished professional in the financial landscape.
