This is so fun. So my name is Stephanie. I'm a mom of four. I live in the Maryland Baltimore area with my husband Ryan and our four kiddos. They are 10, 8, 6, and four.We do homeschool. It'll be our sixth year coming up this fall, which is wild. But my background is in elementary education. I taught for eight years in second and third grade. Then I moved into real estate. I grew a really successful real estate career. But when COVID hit a lot of things shut down, especially here in Maryland, and it got harder to take my kid with me.On all of my appointments, which I usually did, I incorporated them a lot into my life. And so I switched gears. We decided to stay home and homeschool the kiddos, and I put my real estate license on hold and started building some online businesses and opportunities to supplement that income and started the Wealthy Homeschooler page.Gosh, it'll be two years this upcoming February, just sharing our journey.Cash Kid: That's really amazing in how you took something and allowed it to become part of your life. So you currently have 162,000 followers on your Instagram page. Oh, at Wealthy Homeschooler.

It's morphed as it's grown and become far more than just a finance piece. We now look at wealth building throughout our entire lives and really living intentionally within how we parent and how within our marriage and within our finances, our faith, our health.And we share now a variety of different tools for people to use systems within their home that we use here within our home too. To help us build that wealthy life.Cash Kid: And I really love that your tagline let's build a wealthy life.

And so whether that be in how you handle your finances or how you are, building that relationship with your children or your spouse you know what you're, the focus that you're putting into your health and your faith.And so we really, for us, that looks a lot of systems that we're putting in place. We have four kids, so life is crazy. And so it's a lot of trying to navigate this busy life while staying really intentional and on a path of purpose and a really purpose driven life.Cash Kid: So you often share that your wealth built building journey is rooted in biblical principles.Can you explain how your faith has shaped your views on money, work, and stewardship?Stephanie: Yeah, absolutely. Money tends to be taboo to talk about for a lot of people, especially if you're a Christian. But we believe that God owns it all and we are just stewards, right?

    TOP 5 Money Lessons Parents Fail to Teach
    Jul 23 2025
    Episode 55:The Top 5 Money Lessons Parents Fail to Teach Their Kids... Kids, what have your parents taught you about money? And adults, what did your parents not teach you that maybe you wish you’d had a heads up? In today’s episode, we tackle the top five money lessons parents fail to teach their kids. Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Cash Kid Podcast — where we teach kids, teens, and even some adults how to earn, save, and invest money. I’m your host — the Cash Kid — and today, we’re diving into something that’s been on my mind for a while... The Top 5 Money Lessons Parents Fail to Teach Their Kids... (and don’t worry — if you’re a parent listening — this isn’t about making anyone feel bad. It’s about all of us learning how to be better and set up the next generation for success.) So let’s get into it! 🎯 #1: Not Teaching the Value of Money and Hard Work One of the biggest mistakes I see is when parents just give kids money...without connecting it to any effort. It sounds awesome, right? Free money! But the problem is, it teaches kids that money just appears...without work. Now, I’m not referring to money they get for a birthday or holiday. It’s the scenario of them asking for money and you just freely handing it over. It’s like if a teen knocked on your door, said they would mow your lawn for $50 bucks. You pay them and then they just walk away. You just lost money and still need to mow your lawn. How can we fix that? Tie money to chores or responsibilities around the house. Encourage us to earn money through side jobs like mowing lawns, dog-walking, or babysitting. And share stories about your own work! Kids learn a lot by hearing how you make and manage your money. When kids understand that hard work equals rewards...we start respecting money and ourselves a lot more. Plus, we’re less likely to be willing to give up or spend our money on unnecessary items as we know how hard it was to earn that money in the first place. 🎯 #2: Not Talking About Budgeting and Saving You hand a kid twenty bucks...and 10 minutes later it's gone. Sound familiar? That's because budgeting and saving don't come naturally — they have to be taught. Here’s a simple fix: Teach us to split our money into "Save, Spend, and Give" jars. Help us set real savings goals — like saving up for a bike or a cool gadget. And most importantly...explain the difference between "needs" and "wants." We need food. We want the latest new OnCloud shoes or clothes. There’s a big difference! Greenlight is an app I use to set up save, spend, and give categories. It’s all digital and easy to move money from one bucket to the next. Parents and kids both have access to it to monitor it and help reach the goals together. Budgeting isn’t boring when you turn it into a challenge or a goal we’re excited about. 🎯 #3: Avoiding Conversations About Debt and Credit A lot of parents think, "My kid doesn’t need to worry about credit cards yet." But here’s the thing — by the time we do get a credit card, if we don’t understand how debt works, we can get into serious trouble. A better way? Start small. Let your kid "borrow" $5 with the promise to pay it back with a little interest. Talk about how credit scores work and why they matter. And share real stories from your life — like how you bought your house, your car, or even mistakes you made with debt. Money mistakes happen...but learning early can help us avoid some big ones later. One of the tried and true measure is when a teen turns 16 they can be made an authorized user on their parents credit card and have them only use it to buy gas and pay that back every month. It helps to build their credit and experience in how credit works… and that it’s gotta be paid back… or you’re in debt. 🎯 #4: Not Encouraging Entrepreneurship and Investing Saving is good — but growing your money is even better. And guess what? Kids can totally understand investing and entrepreneurship if someone takes the time to explain it. What are some ways you can help: Introduce simple concepts like stocks, bonds, and ETFs. Support our business ideas — like selling bracelets, mowing lawns, or even running a YouTube channel! And point us to real success stories of young entrepreneurs who started early. You never know — the next Elon Musk or Oprah Winfrey might be sitting at your kitchen table! Don’t be the one to discourage them. Find a way to help them expand on their business mindset in a educated way. 🎯 #5: Not Setting a Good Financial Example Parents, we’re watching you — even when you think we’re not! If you’re always swiping credit cards, shopping online, or arguing about money...that’s what we learn. Here’s what helps: Be open about money. Let us see the family budget. Talk about savings goals you're working on. And let us be part of little decisions, like picking cheaper groceries or planning a budget-friendly family outing. The ...

Alright, let’s get into it. (intro tease) Cash Kid: Hey Cash kids. Welcome back to the Cash Kid Podcast and today we're doing an interview with none other than the Adam Bergman . He's the founder of IRA Financial Group And IRA Financial Trust, which are the leading providers of self-directed IRA plans and 4 0 1 Ks. He's helped over 17,000 clients make alternative asset investments with their self-directed plans. Adam has published nine books on retirement plans and Taxation is a frequent contributor to Forbes and has been quoted in over 250 major publications. He's passionate about educating Americans of self-directed investment plans and passionate about my generation and learning about these types of investment strategies earlier in life. I'm excited to learn from Adam today. So hey Adam. Welcome to the show, and first off, tell us a little bit about yourself. Adam Bergman: Well thanks so much for having me. Really excited. So I was a tax lawyer and um, for eight years in New York City. Really, um, always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Didn't really know what I wanted to do. And I had the pleasure of being able to help a client who wanted to use his IRA to invest in what's called a hedge fund. Right? It's, a more advanced way to invest. So I was asked to research how he was, able to use his IRA to invest in a hedge fund, and I was totally blown away because. I couldn't imagine myself, always thought of myself as a really, you know, smart guy. I was a tax lawyer of a master's in tax law and I had no idea that you can use your IRA to do alternative assets like real estate or gold or hedge fund. So I quit my job and started IRA Financial about 15 years ago. Cash Kid: you have adults save retirement and really like unique ways. So can you explain just like what a self-directed plan is, but in a way that a kid or teen could understand it? Adam Bergman: Sure, sure. So I'll, let me double click on that and just give a little bit of history and make it easier to understand. So in 1974, IRAs were created Not a lot of Americans got to save for retirement. Right. It was mostly if you worked at big companies like Ford or GE, you had a defined benefit plan, otherwise you just didn't have a chance. So the government created ERISA, which created the IRA and the 401k, which are the two most common ways to save. So what is the foundation? What's an IRA or an individual retirement account? Basically anyone that has some income that works, that has a job, could open an IRA. So you can be a lifeguard, you can be a basketball coach, you can work at the grocery store. You can do chores for a neighbor, as long as it's really not a parent paying you. You can have income and you can put money into an IRA. And what's the advantage? Well, there's two big advantages. One is you get a tax deduction for what you put in. Meaning if you make $20,000 and you get a $5,000 tax deduction, you only pay tax on 15,000, which is good. It's less money goes to the government. And the second is the most important. It's called tax deferral. That means you don't pay tax when your money is invested in an IRA. So here's a simple example. If you take a hundred dollars and buy Bitcoin, okay, or or Tesla stock, and it goes to $200 in an IRA and you sell it, you don't pay any tax. If you did that in a non IRA account, you would pay income tax on that gain. And if you did that for the next 10, 15, 20, 30 years, you're gonna have a lot, lot less money if you saved in a non IRA. Cash Kid: Right. Yeah. And I feel like that's a big factor, and that's part of one of the reasons that we really wanted this interview is so we could teach people the different, like investment strategies or different ways that you could invest through different platforms. And so being able to show like the unique benefits, I think would be really beneficial for us at our age. So thank you. And, uh, third of all, why do you think it's important for people even young people like us to start thinking about money for the future ...
