About 54% of teenagers are worried about financing their futures. How can parents help their adolescents gain financial confidence and responsibility, especially in a world where money is invisible and gratification is immediate?

Join host Chris and Wealth Advisor Patrice Bening, a mom of two young adults, as they discuss various conversations and principles to implement with your kids as they grow an understanding of money and how to use it.

If you’re interested in learning about…

  • The importance of starting early when instilling money habits.
  • Giving money a purpose through simple frameworks (like 50/30/20) to plan before it’s spent.
  • Making currency "feel real" in a digital world by allowing your kids to see the exchange of cash 
  • Encouraging adolescents to make the most of their biggest asset: time. Even small amounts grow meaningfully when you start early and stay consistent.
  • Modeling behavior for your teens. Kids learn more from what you do than what you say
