Show Notes

Joel and Matt talk with Kristy and Bryce of Millennial Revolution about their book "Parent Like a Millionaire (Without Being One)." They explore the financial pressures that discourage people from having kids, challenge inflated estimates of child-rearing costs, and share practical strategies like nanny sharing, avoiding lifestyle inflation, and teaching kids financial autonomy. The conversation emphasizes that raising children well is more about intentionality and community than a seven-figure bank account.
