Show notes

Doug Nordman retired at age 41 after maintaining a high savings rate despite not being high earning. He has been retired for the past 20 years and has remained financially independent through three recessions. This allowed him to provide his daughter with a valuable financial education.

Together, this father-daughter duo have amassed wealth and knowledge to be passed down to future generations. Carol and Doug are the authors of "Raising Your Money-Savvy Family For Next Generation Financial Independence", which comes out later this spring.

In this episode, you'll hear practical advice on saving for early retirement as well as how to effectively educate your children about finances.

How to use an allowance to teach children financial responsibility and independence
How to use teachable moments to further their financial know-how into wisdom
How to build trust around money in order to initiate money conversations
How to teach deferred gratification and saving for future goals
Simple scripts that reinforce the money lessons you want to teach
