Our System is a Financial Failure… This is How We Can Fix it

[@g59490155]

Brandon is so fortunate to have a dad like Marc, not only his friend but also can teach him so many things in life. I wish I had a dad like that.

Sharing what worked for my twins: monthly allowance at 3, & allowed to spend on ❤ desired & lots spent on Roblox + dollarama. At 13, 🙏 they are good w/ $$ and practice value buying. Will not spend on booster juice or bubble tea cuz stuffies& games rule.

[@beaviswealth]

Nicely done!!! Knowing you and your financial discipline, I'm not shocked! 🙂

[@momo35444]

This was an amazing video. Thank you too both of you so much!!!

Happy Birthday Marc🎉

HB Marc🎉

[@aureliam.5454]

Can Marc also share how HIS upbringing influenced his financial behavior and values? Great video idea btw

[@roberttaylor3594]

How did I miss this video? I'm not a financial expert so I often forward this channel's videos to my daughter, encourage her to start a FHSA, TFSA, RRSP.

[@roberttaylor3594]

I had an RESP for my daughter, let her know how it worked. I like to think she took going to school seriously in part because of it.

Happy Birthday Marc! we just helped our kid open a checking account, he is 4, absolutely no idea what it is for, but it looks like he had fun.

[@roberttaylor3594]

How to spot financial scams online might be a good thing to talk about.

[@mr.gregory6768]

Brandon is okay and nice but Mark has the Wisdom and History and Knowledge that I take more Seriously.

[@roberttaylor3594]

I don't see the list of books!

[@ericbissonnette3121]

Happy Birthday Marc! Brandon, you mentioned you would add a few books to help teach money/investing to children to the description. I would love to have this list to get ready to teach my 3 and 1 year old when they're ready :)

[@roberttaylor3594]

happy belated birthday!

I come from a financial illiterate family, I should say a very dysfonctional family. I deserted them years ago for my sanity.

[@colinmacd490]

Ya just have to grow up without money to know how to manage it.

[@evadeanu1]

What a genuinely beautiful father and son conversation, and many thanks for sharing this with us. I wish we could be open to have these discussions in my family when the money was always a taboo topic.

[@shurmankroeker9075]

When our son was 16ish, we paid fo his clothes. He would pay and then be reimbursed by us. Eventually he became interested in $100 T-shirts, which we were not so keen on. We came up with a monthly clothes allowance which had to cover everything from underwear to winter jackets. This way, he could buy his $100 T, knowing there was still much to buy throughout the rest of the year. He learned to budget and choose wisely. He also had a job so could top up purchases if he wanted something that badly. 6 years later he is totally responsible with his finances 😊🏠💰

Great conversation; would love to see more like this ;-)

My parents were horrible with money and finances. I learned a lesson as a teenager about poor money management, poverty and what happens when there isn't a safety fund. I am very frugal as a result, always been a saver and strive to build my wealth. I found it difficult to impart this to my children. They are so influenced by friends and media. I try and they have always had to work to buy things that aren't necessities. One kid is a saver and the other a spender. It actually makes me crazy 🤪 We haven't shared everything about our finances because if they knew, they might expect handouts 😂 I want them to be independent, so I don't think it's a good idea showing our investment account balance 😊

[@ryanm7171]

Brandon, you are very smart to teach your daughter money spending and saving principles. I would suggest using actual money/coins and not a credit card. I remember as a child also falsely believing that anything could be bought back then by a cheque. I didn't understand that there needed to be money in a banking account for those cheques to work. I made my mother's life miserable, insisting that she could just use a cheque whenever she said she didn't have money to buy me something I wanted. Regardless, your daughter is so adorable and will be in great shape in life because of your lessons.

I’m out of town for the calgary stop over. Otherwise I’d be there. You guys are great. Keep it up.

[@jakethesnake141414]

Brandon: "It's not funny" - as he proceeds to laugh uncontrollably LOL

[@sandray7609]

Marc, you are the dad I wish I had to learn about money! 😊 Happy birthday

[@joshdanderson]

Happy birthday!

[@beaviswealth]

Thanks!

[@Carol8693]

... and what cutie : peeease with a smitten smile 😊

[@caughtoncam4800]

My biological dad was clueless about finances and I promised myself at a very young age that I would never be like him.

[@ricknash3055]

When did investing become readily accessible to the ordinary person? Sure, you could buy stocks but not as easy as now.

Happy Birthday Marc!
