Financial Literacy for Parents with Clifton Corbin
Or listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
Episode Summary:
I have a very special guest on The Empowered Planning Podcast today – Clifton Corbin! He is a father, a Registered Financial Consultant (RFC), has his MBA, and has amassed over two decades of business consulting experience. Currently, he has left the office to be a stay-at-home dad, but in his spare time, he has written and published multiple books. I’m excited to have him on today to chat about the importance of financial literacy within our families, how to talk to kids about money, and how he approaches different financial topics with his own children (including if you should give them allowance or not!). Clifton has a wealth of knowledge around this subject and there’s so much to learn from him during this episode.
Topics:
- The role that Clifton’s parents and upbringing played in his own beliefs around money and financial literacy
- What inspired Clifton to write books, specifically books for parents and financial literacy
- The power of being transparent with your past financial burdens to reduce shame
- A good age to breach the topic of money with your kids and how to do it
- What to say to your kids instead of “We don’t have the money for that,” and being intentional with your words
- Clifton’s view on allowance to teach children more about money
