In a normal year, I would be saying “Can you believe it, it’s December already” but this year is different! I think many people would be saying “Thank God, it’s December finally!” However, December marks the beginning of THE most treacherous 3 months of the year when it comes to money. It started with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales and then next, the School Holidays start. That continues on through Christmas and New Year (which is a high-cost period for all and a low-income period for tradies). Back to School costs and Credit Card bills arrive in January and February often brings the rates bill for homeowners. It's a period that anyone who does not have a spending plan or a bottomless pit of money actually dreads! In this week’s episode of Succeed With Money, David and Carolyn discuss this annual phenomenon and talk about ways to avoid the pain that goes with it… which makes this an episode not to be missed!

As adults we learn pretty quickly that success with money is pretty important if you want to live a life that’s not full of hardship and stress. If you didn’t get a good financial education as a child you most likely got some painful and abrupt financial lessons when you arrived at adulthood and that experience may well be ongoing if you haven’t taken steps to educate yourself. It stands to reason then that as parents, nothing you do for your children will ensure their success as an adult more than teaching them to be money-savvy from an early age. In this episode of Succeed With Money podcast David and Carolyn outline 10 things that parents should be teaching their kids about money…. which makes this an episode not to be missed!!!
