The article highlights the author's journey from observing his mother's frugal habits to establishing a successful career in finance. As the director of budget for the City of Ocala, the author learned that financial management principles apply at all levels, from household budgets to corporate finances. He emphasizes the importance of teaching his children the value of saving and investing rather than merely earning more. Now a grandfather, he feels a responsibility to pass down financial wisdom, aiming to empower future generations with knowledge that fosters financial freedom and security.
A career in finance taught me everything I needed to know about building real wealth and ensuring my children learn to save and invest.
The lessons I teach my children and grandchildren are the same ones I learned watching my mother at the kitchen table.
