Erin’s parents were deliberate about raising their children with sound fiscal principles. Her dad was intentional about exposing Erin to financial concepts like taxes, expenses, and net profit so that she would grow up “enabled, but not entitled”. She grew up abroad and lived in a very wealthy community, but she managed to emerge as a down-to-earth individual with her priorities intact when it comes to money. Lessons about giving back and conserving wealth were common themes in Erin’s world growing up.
End of life conversations can be difficult, and the conversation about handling financial affairs when you pass away can be an especially touchy topic. Erin has practical tips for children to approach their parents so that conversations about money can be positive. Conversely, parents will find this advice helpful as well if your adult children resist the idea of thinking through end-of-life planning issues.
