Self-Improvement

This time of year is filled with shopping and you eventually will end up bringing the kids, and they will want something and not get it. The behavior where children whine and demand by using the phrase, "gimmie" is the behavior we can talk about today, particularly introducing young children to finances. To talk about this Matt has Alisa Weinstein on the show. Alisa is a financial and lifelong planner and will help us understand how we can teach children about these financial matters but still retain the magic of santa and Christmas. Stay tuned later in the show for one matt's own coaching corners on what really matters during this time of the year. We hope you have a merry christmas season from us here at the Matt Townsend Show!
