These issues will still be part of our consciousness and will be issues that we will face.
Well, lots of us have blown it and we hear our little ones whine for what they want; we hear our teens say, I\'ll be ruined if I don\'t get what I want; and we see our adult children coming home to live in, Hotel Mom and Dad (replete with room service and gas in the car).
We all want our kids to grow up with a healthy attitude toward money, so that someday they can leave the nest and make it on their own.
We all want to be good parents.
That could still be the case, but it seems like a long time ago that that was a worry.
Before this all happened and if you are a parent or a grandparent you might have worried that you could be raising a spoiled or entitled child.
But I refuse to be reduced by it.
Maya Angelou said it best
I can be changed by what happens to me.
We have seen courage and sadness and hope.
Together, we can do this.
We not only need to adapt to each other, but we also need to adapt to each other.
We are resilient and adaptive, and we need to muster all of our strength now for ourselves and for the next generation.
This book will help you and your family to break through.
It is our choice.
As my business colleague and friend, Mike Hackett, SVP of My Secure Advantage has said, In these times we can either break down or break through.
So, I want to be your mentor through this process and help you and your kids and grandkids to be financially resilient in these Tough times.
We have no idea what that means, but we also know this is going to go on for a while.
Either way, we must move forward to the new normal.
And, this is a time to either fall apart emotionally and financially or ban together as a family and community.
Your kids and grandkids are homeschooling and distancing.
You may have become sick; lost loved ones; lost your job; lost your ability to even go out to dinner.
