Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we break down the real costs of raising children and share practical strategies to balance your kids’ opportunities with your own financial security. Drawing from our experience advising families navigating these decisions, we discuss private school alternatives, the danger of over-committing even on high incomes, and why teaching your kids about money matters more than any deposit you give them.
Tune in to discover how to future-proof your family’s finances without sacrificing your own wealth goals.
