How Rumpelstiltskin Can Save You From Getting Into Debt And Ruining Your Life

Jeremy Pryor is joined by his children Jackson, Sydney, and Elisa to talk about debt, and how young people today are getting so easily sucked into making horrible financial decisions that often lead to LITERALLY giving up their first born child as payment.

They do all this by dissecting the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, which is absolutely packed with symbolism that we can use to glean wisdom from for today.

Learn the sad reality of why most young people get into debt, the various forces out there looking to "get" us (and our future earning years...and even our sense of meaning), and what we can do about it.

On this episode, we talk about:

1:56 How to get the most out of fairy tales (and why they're not irrelevant today)

5:34 The story of Rumpelstiltskin

6:48 The point of the story...how and why debt starts

17:00 The vulnerability of young people entering into adulthood

20:06 The most brilliant symbol in the story...what happens when you run out of things to give?

33:31 The happy ending that requires you knowing the name

42:57 The gratitude your children will have if you train them and teach them about the traps of the world
