About this episode
Why don’t schools teach kids about money?
In this episode of Julia and Gino, we sit down with Will Rainey, former investment consultant and founder of Blue Tree Savings, to talk about the financial education children actually need—but rarely receive.
From simple habits to powerful long-term thinking, Will shares practical ways parents can teach their kids how money really works… in a way that’s easy, engaging, and lasting.
Because building wealth doesn’t start in adulthood—it starts in childhood.
