I vote the toddler book! Expecting mom here and already excited for my child to get old enough to start your current book! My opinion, children are not educated on money management or even general money principles. There is a need here.

I would prefer an adult financial book. I think that would be more suitable to your audience. Not everyone has children or would choose to by a money book for their children. Lots of "financial influencers" are publishing books these days, and you have definitely put in the work & are successful with money. No offense on that title, as some people get offended when put in the finfluencer category!

It's crazy to me that you aren't already at 100k, Justine! You bring so much value with your content and it's fun to watch. I hope you reach 100k this year!

Hi Justine, I would personally definitely prefer the adult financial book 📕👍🏽👌🏽. For the new moms out there, hang in there. I’ve been in your shoes. Now I’m in the stage of life where my daughter is grown & I’m an independent woman again, where I’m free to get up & go off somewhere at a moment’s notice, whoohoo 🙌🏽.

Oooh, I love your idea of a board book for kids! Maybe you could even make it interactive with windows that they could open or money attached to a ribbon where they can choose which category (i.e. fun, food or future) that they want to “spend” it and they learn about the opportunity cost of money

[myhijos]

My vote is for an adult financial book! 👍

I had the same question about 529 plans - that’s great perspective. I have some set up for my kiddos but it’s tough figuring out where it falls amidst financial priorities. Also yes for personal care reset time- it’s so necessary.

I agree with your perspective in house. I too am waiting for houses prices to calm down to reality. Oddly enough i have enough downpayment to automatically have 40-50% equity even on this market. But why overpay?

It took my family and I alot of paciense to save, we're not doing greedy sellers any favors. Besides I love this high interest as is yielding us great boost. We're also waiting.

Hey Justine, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I loved your videos. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you?
