Greg Junge: Raise Kids Who Are Smart With Money

Published on November 4, 2026

What if your children are learning more about money from watching you than from anything they're taught in school? Financial literacy starts at home, and the conversations you have today could shape your children's financial confidence for years to come.

In this episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich welcomes Greg Junge, founder of Money Mindset Academy and author of Teen Money Mindset and Parent Money Mindset.

Greg shares how his childhood experiences, entrepreneurial journey, and real estate investing background inspired him to help families develop healthier financial habits. Together, Rich and Greg explore why financial education matters, how parents can teach children about money without being financial experts, and why learning to manage money should begin long before adulthood.

What You'll Learn:

Why financial literacy for kids should start with conversations at home.

How to teach teenagers budgeting, saving, and responsible credit card use.

Ways to turn grocery shopping and everyday purchases into money lessons.

How digital spending and subscriptions can create unhealthy financial habits.

Why parents and children benefit from learning about money together.
