Do you ever wish you had a coach who could give you a pre-game ‘chalk talk’ before heading into a conversation with your teen? When it comes to money conversations you now have that coach!
The podcast It Makes Total Cents provides parents with just those pep talks centered around each of their 12 conversation topics. Your host, Tom Henske CFP®, financial advisor for 27 years, varsity soccer coach, and parent of two teens will guide you on how you can facilitate each of those dozen money conversations. In less than 10 minutes, he’ll talk you through the questions you should ask, and the responses you will most likely get.
How does he know? Been there… done that. He’s tried out each of these conversations not only in his own home but also with the teenage soccer players he coached for years.
