Tweetable Quotes
“I love seeing more and more people talking about finance now because it’s just, we talked about it with our families when we were younger, and I think it did the opposite of stress us out as adults. It made us comfortable with money. It’s kind of like if you take an 18-year-old to a pool and you’ve never introduced them to water or never taught them to swim, and you just throw them in there, they’re going to be like, what are you doing? This is crazy. So it’s the same thing with money.”
“I think that adults need to realize that they don’t have to understand what a hedge fund manager does to be successful in their own financial management. There are some basic ideas that really are in my book for kids. If adults understand, it makes a big difference and they don’t need to know anything more complicated.”
“I believe allowance should be more about giving them the opportunity to practice and learn on their own. Make it relevant, then they’re interested in it because it’s theirs.”
