Where did you learn how to manage money? The old saying: "More is caught than taught" is how most of us learn about money. We unknowingly picked up many of the bad money habits our parents struggled through when we were younger, and surprise, surprise; now we are making the same mistakes they once were (or still are). This doesn't have to be the case for the next generation - our kids. What can you be showing your 4 year old AND your 16 year old about money? In this week's episode, I am going to walk you step by step with the best possible ways to teach your kids about money at every single age. It's never too late to start, but the sooner the better! You don't want boomerang kids (the ones that move back in when they're 30) and you may need a little help from some financially stable adults in 20-30 years! http://moneypeach.com/session11

Housing is the BIGGEST expense most of us will ever have to deal with, and yet it's kind of a big mystery. Why do we choose a 30 year mortgage and what are the better options? If I go to a 15-year mortgage, what happens to my payment? What happens if I can add just a little bit each month to my mortgage and what does that look like over time? The reason why we ask these questions is simple: we were never taught how. Instead we sign our lives away without a clue of what is really going on and what other options are available. If that's not enough, we are then thrown into the bank's wonderful plan of making payments and interest for the majority of our lives and wondering why we can't seem to get ahead. No thanks. In this week's episode of Money Peach TV, we are going to break down the 30 year mortgage vs the 15 year mortgage, and some other jaw-dropping facts about what you can and should be doing to becoming ultra fit by paying off your mortgage early! http://moneypeach.com/session10
