Episode Details

Presents, vacations, toys, clothes—it can get awkward when kids want everything they see at a friend’s house. Or when their parents suggest group activities and playdates that are way out of budget. How do you have healthy conversations about money when your kids notice the contrast between your lifestyle and what they see in the community around them? Lisa and the Council of Moms: Josephine, Wendy Mar, and Hilary Craner, discuss the challenges of parenting in a world of socioeconomic comparisons. They share personal experiences about family finance conversations, shifting perspectives on materialism, and creating meaningful family experiences without overspending.
