How to Raise Your Family Money Savvy (with Carol and Doug)

We teach our children their ABCs, arithmetic, and basics of life as they grow to become members of our society but who’s teaching them to be money-savvy? Doug and Carol are joining me to discuss how parents can set their children up for financial success and independence. As Father and Daughter, they bring a unique perspective, providing an inside look on both sides of Carol’s financial education.  The show notes can be found here: https://laceylangford.com/podcast/how-to-raise-your-family-money-savvy/   Doug Nordman served for 20 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy and retired at the age of 41.  He and his spouse, a retired Navy Reservist, reached financial independence in the late 1990s on a high savings rate. He’s the author of “The Military Guide To Financial Independence And Retirement” and founder of The-Military-Guide.com.     Doug’s daughter, Carol Pittner, joined the Navy on a ROTC scholarship and has served around the world on a destroyer and an aircraft carrier before transiting into the Reserves.  She and her active-duty spouse are rapidly approaching financial independence on a high savings rate. Military personal finance is an important family topic to both Carol and Doug who are the authors of “Raising Your Money-Savvy Family For Next Generation Financial Independence”, coming on 8 September from ChooseFI Media.
