Financial Judgement

Welcome to the latest episode of Let’s Talk Money and More Podcast with your host Lesley Thomas. In this episode, Lesley discussed the importance of talking to our children about money and financial literacy. She highlighted the detrimental effects of avoiding these conversations and the alarming statistics about teenagers' outlook on their financial futures. She emphasised the need to teach financial literacy and success mindset to empower our young people for a brighter, more hopeful future. Join the conversation and support our mission to bring financial education to schools. Let's create a generation that is confident and wise about money.

Key Takeaways

Reframe Conversations: Instead of saying "we can't afford that," focus on priorities or planning. Empower children to consider possibilities and the value of saving for their goals.

Positive Money Mindset: Discuss the positive aspects of money, such as opportunities for helping others, fulfilling dreams, and securing a comfortable life, rather than portraying money as the root of all evil.

Empowerment Through Education: Encouraging age-appropriate discussions about budgeting, saving, and the value of money can prepare children for their future and break the cycle of financial insecurity.

In this week's episode of Let’s Talk Money and More Podcast, Lesley Thomas explored the Currency of Confidence and its impact on our financial reality. Lesley delved into the idea that we are all born with innate confidence, yet we often lose it as we grow older. The importance of language and how it can either limit or empower our confidence was discussed, along with the significance of connecting with our emotions. Share your thoughts on how you've overcome self-doubt and restored confidence in your money story! Keep listening, keep learning, and keep growing. 

Key Takeaways

• We are all born with innate confidence. As babies, we fearlessly explore the world and pursue our desires without hesitations. It's crucial to reflect on the confidence we once had and understand how external influences may have dampened it over time.
• Language limiters, such as "I'll do it later" or "It's too late now," only serve to keep us stuck in our comfort zones. Recognising and abandoning these excuses is the first step toward regaining the confidence needed to pursue our financial and personal goals.
• Connect with your goals on an emotional level to align your actions with what you truly desire. Imagine achieving your financial milestones or personal aspirations. Embrace the feelings and visualise the success, as this emotional connection can propel you forward and build the confidence needed to take necessary steps.
