@honestpersonalfinance: Do you remember the gifts you received over five years ago? Do your kids remember what they got for Christmas last year or two years ago? if these gifts were truly meaningful in your lives, you wouldn’t struggle to remember what you got and when you got it. While gifts can be nice in the moment, most of us have everything we are ever going to need. #PersonalFinance #financialliteracy #LearnOnTikTok #deinfluencing
My kids got a mini stock portfolio when they turned 18. I opened them both Roth IRA’s when they got their first job at 16.

There is balance. It’s not about remembering everything. It’s about experiencing joy in the moment. Enjoying the season until it passes. Two things can be true at the same time.

I wish my family didn’t want gifts. Everybody has so much junk, and they just want more. Can’t we just enjoy each others company and shitty food :.)

I once got my mother a gift. Not because of birthday, mother's day or any holiday. I got it because I knew was something she really wanted. The correct reason!

This year I got my kids 1 year of free guitar lessons from a nearby music shop, and I gave them money to put into their savings/brokerage account. They’re 10 and 13 and I’ve got them invested into the market.
