A Parent's Guide to Teaching Financial Intelligence to Kids
In this episode, Jake and Gino talk about the significance of teaching financial intelligence to kids. Gino shares his personal story on how he was introduced to the whole life insurance concept as a savings tool to secure his financial future for both himself and his family. Jake and Gino map out a parent’s guide to teaching kids about finances early on, and how parents can use whole life insurance to help children protect and secure their own financial futures. Why Buy Whole Life for Your Children: ➡️ Whole life insurance policies will provide coverage for your child’s whole life, as long as the premiums are paid. ➡️ The cost of life insurance depends largely on age and health, thus purchasing a policy when your children are young locks in a lower premium that does not change, even if your child’s health changes as they grow. ➡️ The earlier you start, the sooner the policy begins to build cash value. This cash value can be borrowed to finance medical expenses, cars, college, or even a wedding. ➡️ You can't buy term life policies for children, as they would only provide coverage for a certain number of years. For more on Whole Life vs Term Life, check out this episode of our podcast: https://youtu.be/chnxJX_38DA Gino's better-half, Julia Barbaro, recently released her book "The Cannolis Exploded!
