MtoM #245: Physician Aids Her Parents in Buying a Car with Cash for the First Time and Finance 101: Helping Your Parents with Their Finances

24 minutes

Today we are chatting with a physician who helped her parents pay cash for their car for the first time in their lives. She was vulnerable with us and shared that her parents don't have great financial habits and are going to need a lot of financial help from her. She has begun to educate them around how to be wise with their money and paying cash for the car was a big step for them. She knows that her parents want to be independent and she sees helping them learn what she has learned about money is a kindness to them that will allow them to be independent longer. After the interview we will talk a bit more about financially helping your parents for Finance 101.
