Bonus Mailbag #14: Children, Families and Finances 




HerMoney with Jean Chatzky show

Summary: In honor of a very happy holiday season, we're celebrating with our HerMoney family with five special Mailbag-focused episodes! Our listeners submit THE BEST questions all year long (to <a href="mailto:mailbag@hermoney.com" target="_blank">mailbag@hermoney.com</a>), and we wanted to get as many as possible answered before 2020 rolls around. In this episode, Jean and Kathryn dive into your questions around children and families. Jean offers her thoughts on how women with limited incomes can afford to adopt, and available funding and financing options. We also talk through starting 529 plans for children, and strategies for supporting adult children through grad school without enabling them. And if you've ever wondered how to help your kids save, this episode's for you! Jean offers her thoughts on engaging your children, and how parents can open a brokerage account to help their little ones get excited about investing early on. From everyone on the HerMoney team, thank you so much for listening to us in 2019. We can't wait to spend some more quality time together in the New Year!
