21 | Is Your Teen Son a Spender or a Saver? 5 Ways to Teach the Value of Money for Real Life.

Money is everywhere—and so is the pressure to spend it.

Our sons are growing up in a world that constantly tells them what they need, what they should buy, and what they’re missing out on. But learning how to manage money? That often gets overlooked.

So how do we step in and teach them something different?

In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose, we’re talking about how to help your son understand the value of money and begin using it wisely. Not perfectly—but intentionally.

Through real-life examples and practical ideas, this conversation will help you start building healthy money habits with your son—so he can learn to earn, spend, save, and give in a way that prepares him for adulthood.

Because one day, he won’t be managing your money… he’ll be managing his own.
