    What We Didn't Learn About Money Growing Up

    Join hosts Corinthus Alston and Leon C. Wilson as they discuss the stark realities of growing up without a solid understanding of money.

    Key Points:
    -Recalling growing up without learning basic money management, as their parents managed finances privately without discussing the details.
    - Examines how financial habits, or the absence of them, were passed down through generations, often resulting in poor money decisions.
    - Discuss how their parents' potential shame over not earning enough contributed to the secrecy surrounding household finances.
    - Highlights how moving into the middle class affected their families' financial situations, including homeownership and managing mortgage payments with rental income.
    - Stresses the importance of teaching financial literacy to their children early, offering practical tips for involving kids in money discussions.
