Blog Feature: Family Money Values

21 Apr

I absolutely love the concept behind Family Money Values- basically, Marie believes money is a family issue, not something secret to be hid from your parents or your children. She believe the path to growing wealth, real wealth, takes generations, and specifically, generations working together to accomplish the goal.

This week, she wrote about the lessons learned from their first family meeting- what went right, what went wrong, and what they needed to change in the future.

I love this concept and hope that I will be able to take Marie’s teachings in to my own family as it grows.

  1. Wow – thanks! I'd recommend you start family meetings when your kids are young. If you get really brave, invite your parents and your spouses parents to join! By starting young, you establish that meetings are part of the family routine, natural and necessary.

      Starting when the kids are young, I think we can do. Parents, well, I'm not brave enough to have my divorced parents in the room while discussing finances. But your'e right, family meetings need to simply be part of being a family.
