Allowance just got controversial—and if you’re a parent, grandparent, or anyone raising kids (so, basically anyone who’s ever stepped on a LEGO), you’re going to want to tune in.
In this episode of Wealth Wisdom, we dive into the Allowance Debate—how to give your kids money and teach them to be responsible, independent humans (without turning them into little employees).
We dig into:
💸 The three allowance “paths”: give it, make them earn it, or go hybrid
🪣 The Three-Bucket System for chores, allowance, and bonuses
🏦 When to start giving an allowance—and how to get kids to actually care about money
💳 Paying your kids through your business (yes, there are tax perks)
📈 Why teaching kids to spend and save is crucial for their financial future
Before we dive into allowance, we hit this week’s headlines:
📊 S&P 500 and NASDAQ close near record highs
💼 August jobs report misses expectations—what it means for rate cuts
🤖 Companies spend $375B+ on AI infrastructure, keeping the economy humming
And to wrap it all up, we spotlight one of our portfolio names: Amphenol Corporation—the backbone of the AI buildout. From fiber optics to data centers and defense, we break down why we own it and why it’s quietly crushing it (+95% since we bought in).
