It can be tough to know where and when to start when it comes to kids and money. And don't even get started about the allowance question. How much? And for what? Well, we've got ALL the answers thanks to our special guest Beth Kobliner, who's a financial expert, and NYT bestselling author. We're chatting about her new book "Make Your Kid a Money Genius" and tackling our questions and yours, too. Plus, she tells us what we're doing right and wrong with our own kids.

Ep. 65: The 100% non-Oscars episode Jan 31, 2017

Show notes

We thought it would be fun to do an Oscars episode, but then realized we hadn't seen any of the movies (unless you count a couple of the animated feature). Ah, parenting! So instead, we're talking about all the things that change when you have kids, from sleep to finances, to exercise and yes, not seeing the Oscar-nominated movies. And of course, we've got our cool picks of the week.
