In this special FinCon edition of Don’t Go Broke Trying, Reni is joined by a very familiar guest — her dad, Bode the Finance Dad for a heartfelt and practical conversation about raising kids who truly understand money.

Recorded live at the Adobe Podcast booth in Portland, this short but powerful episode breaks down the early habits, lessons, and mindsets that shape a child’s financial future. Bode shares how he went from not understanding money to becoming financially savvy through self-education and how he passed that financial literacy down to his daughters starting as early as age two.

Together, they dive into:

• Why financial literacy should start early

• Practical ways to teach kids about needs vs wants

• How to use allowance, real cash, and everyday moments as teaching tools

• The MKM Formula (Make, Keep, Multiply) and why it’s the key to generational wealth

• How parents can model healthy money habits without burdening their kids

Whether you’re a parent, future parent, or someone healing from childhood money lessons, this episode offers simple, relatable, and actionable insights you can start using today.

Tune in to learn how to raise financially confident kids and make sure you don’t go broke trying.
