Jen and Tom Sherman have been friends of ours for many years.  In fact, Jen was one of our first guests on The Wonder Podcast.  Her love of books and reading culminated recently in her newest venture, and love, BOOKISH, a nonprofit bookstore in Malakoff, Texas.  Tom has been in the residential mortgage lending business for 30 years and is currently branch owner at Benchmark Mortgage.

 

They have two grown children, Meghan and Thomas. 

 

When we were brainstorming about this topic, Jen and Tom immediately came to mind.  And WOW did they deliver!

 

Did you know money is talked about A LOT in the Bible! More than almost any other topic.  So, it’s a big deal.  And we need to be talking about it with our children. 

 

Jen and Tom share how they have consistently set aside time in their marriage annually to “get on the same page” financially.  The look at the past, the present and future and plan accordingly.  Then they let their children in on their vision.  This is how they modeled financial responsibility.  They were real and authentic about highs and lows, budgets, giving and the big picture.

 

Should your teen have a credit card? What about student loans? Stewardship? Budgets? Is it okay to say NO? YES!

 

“Our kids need to know that NOTHING IS FREE,” Tom Sherman.  Boom.
