Hey, homeschoolers!
After graduating three of my kids and seeing two more of them employed, I now believe that the financial education I gave my kids was even more important then I originally thought. The Bible devotes so much time to discussing money and possessions and with good reason. Our relationship with money can make or break us. That's why I wanted to talk about teaching finance to kids in this episode.
Have you reviewed my books?
Before we dive in, I have a favor to ask of you. If you have purchased and enjoyed any of my books, I would love to have you take a moment to submit a review. Amazon reviews are a major factor in whether or not people make a purchase. I know I rely on them. Thank you so much for taking the time to help other homeschoolers benefit from the resources I've created.
