218. How we run our family budget with Chris and Audrey

Today on the show: Before we chat with married couple Chris and Audrey, we’ll start the show with our “No Dumb Questions” segment. Professor Emeritus at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Author of Teachers Can Be Financially Fit economist Mark Schug aka Grandpa Mark is here to catch us up on everything money related that happened this month. Of course we start with Bitcoin. Everybody is talking about Bitcoin. So, should you jump in on this craze too? Plus we break down the $1.9 Trillion Stimulus Plan. How much of it is directly linked to COVID and which part of the plan is raising the biggest concern to most economists? And we’ll talk about the ROTH. It’s the perfect time to look into putting some of your money in a ROTH. We’ll explain what it is and why now is the best time to do it. Couple Chris and Audrey Smith are our featured couple. They agreed to let us in on how they run their family budget. Plus how they merged their financial stories when they got married. Discipline is the perfect way to describe them. We end the show like we always do, we’ll take “A Seat at the Kid’s Table.” Today we asked the kids “If you could design a money app what would it be like?” We’ll listen in on their answers and then our money expert Susan Beacham founder of Money Savvy Generation will give parents 3 of her favorite money apps for kids.
