Generational money lessons never go out of style.
In this episode, we revisit Depression-era financial wisdom — simple, hard-earned truths that built resilient families and lasting wealth. From living below your means to marrying a saver and learning practical skills, these principles have guided generations through both prosperity and hardship.
We’ll share 12 timeless money lessons that can help today’s younger generation navigate debt, lifestyle inflation, and financial stress. These are the same habits that kept families afloat during the Great Depression — and they’re just as relevant in today’s high-cost, high-leverage economy.
If you want your kids to build true financial independence — not just wealth on paper — this episode is a must-watch.
