Self-professed "money disaster" Joe Saul-Sehy shares
his experiences with and insights on raising money-smart kids with
host John Lanza. Joe recounts his own credit card debacle, which
influenced how he approached money with his twins. He shares how he
introduced them to money when they were young, his family's
allowance system, his "circling back" strategy and how he tackled
money conversations. He also discusses money tracking, the
difference between saving and investing and responsible debt
management. Additionally, Joe and John touch on the loneliness
epidemic, the importance of financial coaching, having the freedom
to make money mistakes and not making a purchase without a payment
plan.
Joe Saul-Sehy learned from failure. Destroying his
credit immediately after leaving home, he had to gain financial
experience the hard way. Ironically, he learned many lessons as a
financial advisor. (Yes, he was telling other people how to manage
their money!) After 16 years in the industry, he moved to financial
media and created Stacking Benjamins, one of the most streamed
podcasts in the personal finance sphere. He also co-authored the
book Stacked: Your Super-Serious Guide to Modern Money Management.
Joe lives in Texarkana with his spouse, Cheryl, and cat, Cooper,
and records shows in his mom’s next-door basement.
