Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money
Ron Lieber
In 'The Opposite of Spoiled', Ron Lieber provides a detailed blueprint for parents to handle various financial aspects such as the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, and more. The book emphasizes the importance of open conversations about money with children to help them become more patient, prudent, and less materialistic. Lieber shares practical tips, stories, and interviews from families across different income brackets, highlighting the need to encourage children to work, earn money, and develop a healthy relationship with finances. The book also addresses the impact of advertising and consumer culture on children's financial behaviors and suggests ways to instill gratitude and fiscal responsibility from an early age.
If you want generous kids, you have to show them what a generous parent is. There is no better time than the holiday season to do this.
Every Thanksgiving, we encourage our listeners to join us in making a donation to Feeding America. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. We donated the first $30,000, and we’d like your help in reaching our goal of $300,000. If we hit that goal of $300,000, it would provide over 3 MILLION meals for families across the country.
Just head over to dailystoic.com/feed and together we can make a significant dent in a big problem. As Seneca reminds us, intention and attitude are central aspects in giving. Your donations show those in need that someone else cares, that someone else is by their side—just like the loved ones around your dinner table who have been by your side over the years.
