Are you ready to ditch the money shame and raise kids who are financially savvy and confident? Then grab your coffee (or wine, let’s be honest), because this is a must-read! We had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Julia Myers, a pharmacist, healthcare executive, and a mom of FIVE, who’s on a mission to empower families with generational wisdom—financial wisdom, that is.
Dr. Myers’ story isn't your typical “I had it all figured out from day one” narrative. She struggled with a lackluster financial education growing up, and a health crisis unexpectedly changed the course of her career. This event became her “aha moment,” the launching pad for her mission to teach kids (and parents!) about money.
Dr. Myers stresses that teaching kids about money isn’t just about handing them allowance. It’s about creating a culture of financial wellness that integrates seamlessly into family life. Her approach is less about strict budgeting and more about building a solid financial foundation through open communication, shared experiences, and playful learning.
She reminds us that the old notions of "the American Dream"—a house, a job, and a pension—no longer apply in the fast-paced world of millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. Today's world is all about adaptability and embracing the power of multiple income streams. Dr. Myers encourages parents to help their children cultivate the same entrepreneurial spirit that they need to navigate this new financial landscape.
Five Key Takeaways from Dr. Myers' Interview:
Dr. Myers’ own journey is punctuated with humorous anecdotes—from her kids' hilarious encounters with cash-only laundromats to their surprisingly savvy approach to budgeting for their first car. These stories illustrate the importance of empowering kids to learn from their own experiences, even the mistakes.
She's a strong advocate for teaching kids to pursue their passions, even if that means juggling multiple income streams, side hustles, or even skipping the traditional college route. The emphasis is on return on investment (ROI) of their education—a timely reminder for any parent facing the daunting costs of college.
Dr. Myers also shares valuable resources, including her own website and the DinnerTable.com community, designed to bring families together for supportive discussions on family finances. Whether you are struggling with basic budgeting or navigating complex investment strategies, Dr. Myers encourages you to redefine your own money story and share it with your children.

Unlock Financial Freedom and Purpose: A Conversation with Eric Brotman
In this insightful episode of the Note Closers Show, Scott Carson sits down with Eric Brotman, host of the Don't Retire, Graduate podcast, for a dynamic discussion about financial independence, retirement planning, and building a fulfilling life beyond the traditional 9-to-5. Eric, a seasoned financial advisor managing nearly three-quarters of a billion in assets, shares his unique perspective and actionable advice. This isn't your typical retirement planning podcast; it's a deep dive into mindset, purpose, and creating a life you truly love.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
Redefining Retirement: Eric challenges the conventional notion of retirement as ceasing work. He advocates for "financial independence," defined as not needing to work because of sufficient passive income or savings. This allows individuals to pursue passions and purpose rather than simply ceasing activity. The focus shifts from the absence of work to the absence of needing to work.
The Three Pillars of Successful Retirement: Eric identifies three key elements for a successful retirement: being debt-free, prioritizing health and well-being, and cultivating a strong sense of purpose. He emphasizes that wealth alone isn't the ultimate measure of success; a fulfilling and meaningful life is equally crucial.
Navigating the Sandwich Generation: A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the challenges faced by the "sandwich generation," those caring for both aging parents and their own children simultaneously. Eric offers strategies for managing competing responsibilities and navigating the emotional and financial complexities of this life stage.
The Importance of Financial Literacy: The conversation underscores the need for increased financial literacy. Eric highlights common mistakes, such as underestimating retirement costs, neglecting insurance planning, and misunderstanding tax implications. He stresses the importance of proactive planning and seeking professional guidance to avoid costly errors.
Beyond Financial Planning: Purpose and Fulfillment: The episode goes beyond the purely financial aspects of retirement. Eric emphasizes the importance of identifying and pursuing your passions. He argues that a fulfilling life is built upon purpose and meaningful activities, and that true retirement is not about ceasing activity but rather graduating to a new and fulfilling chapter.
Beyond the Basics:
This podcast is more than just financial advice; it's a conversation about life purpose and meaning. Eric’s approach emphasizes the importance of aligning your financial goals with your values and passions. He shares practical strategies for building a solid financial foundation and offers insights into the mindset required to achieve true financial independence.
The discussion also touches upon the evolution of Eric’s own career and how his experiences led him to his current philosophy. He emphasizes the value of building a strong network of professionals, the importance of adaptability, and the surprising benefits of diverse teams.
