29. How to invest for your kids
First and foremost: we recognise that the topic of children isn’t easy for everyone. Families take different shapes and sizes, and some people don’t want or aren’t able to have kids. If parenthood is a subject you’d rather avoid, please feel free to give this episode a miss.
However, if you have (or plan to have) kids, you may have considered investing for them. As with all types of investing, there’s no definitive answer – there’s only what’s right for you. But if you’d like to ponder the topic more deeply, this Get Rich Slow Club episode is here to help.
In this session, Natasha Etschmann (Tash Invests) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler) discuss the myriad forms of investing for your kids. They also hear from members of the community who have (or haven’t) made financial plans for their children’s futures. Finally, they identify a series of questions you can ask yourself to find the right approach for yourself (even if that’s no approach at all).
