my dad is requesting people follow him on Instagram- following here if you'd like!! @dad_church

[gayumenon]

I almost cried watching this. Your dad is so sincere!

[allisonbolger]

I love this video. PLEASE make this a series. It is so much more helpful to hear "Boomers" being transparent about their money, what jobs they have or had, what they are living off of now, etc. than it is to know what "Millenials" are making/spending. While I am always curious how my peers are managing their finances, we NEED more retired people talking openly about how they got to retirement and how they manage their money now that they are retired. Show us the way, Boomers, lol.

I really enjoyed the honesty of this video. I married to a teacher in King county and we've been fortunate enough to make good financial decisions similar to your dad's. I wish this video was longer. I think the military benefits can't be ignored. That can really set a family up for success long-term. I would love to see more of your dad in videos

This is one of my favorite videos I've seen in a while! It is super interesting to hear about someone's financial experience, especially with your dad's humble background as a teacher. It was so honest and transparent. I respect it!!

Can Dad Church be our YouTube celebrity Dad? He has awesome stage presence and is so calm. Loved this Boomer Money episode. You should see if CNBC will partner with you on a series :)

Dad Church here weighing in, clarification on budget is that yes my wife has income that was not included, and the fun budget amounts actually include groceries, personal spending, etc., basically everything except mortgage and utilities. It can vary because some months may actually include air fares, trips, special occasions, so hope that makes sense.

I’m 28 and live at home with my parents. I’m glad your dad touched on that! Sometimes it can be embarrassing to tell people I still do, but I know it’ll be better for me in the long run! I’ve been saving up a bunch and will have a good amount saved when I do move out

[ShelbyChurch]

I think I forgot to add this in the video but this is my dad if that isn't obvious hahaha

[liatlovesme]

The advice at the end. Wow, did so many of us need to hear that! So sweet! Please do more of these with your dad! Loved how you showed us around too 👍🏼

On most of the West Coast particularly Los Angeles, a cheap little house in an ok area is at least a million dollars. I am glad your Dad highlighted this point. Also, the GI bill allowed an entire generation to purchase homes. You also don't mention it in the video but I think your Mom worked too so having a dual income is pretty key for most people nowadays.

[tricialyons]

Shelby, your dad is so great! He reminds me so much of my own dad - practical, gives the best advice, and is always there to lend a helping hand. I love that he’s still subbing in high schools.

[ThisIsTechToday]

LOL the fact that you made this similar to millennial money's style is amazing 😂 I love this.

[rosemariemartin]

I love your dad! He seems really laid back. And it's obvious that he's proud of his kids!

[Xtina]

Such a great video from a Boomers perspective. Your Dad seems so grounded and gives such sage advice especially at the end. I moved back with my parents at the age of 33 until 37 to save $$$ and finally bought my first home. Best decision ever : )

[renesteinhauser]

My husband is a teacher and we just bought our first house which needs a little fixing. We're in our mid twenties and have a little baby. I see a lot of ourselves in your parents' story. It was great to watch!

[nicholet.]

The fact that I grew up watching you starting in middle school and I am now 22 just goes to show how amazing of a creator you are! You grew with your followers which many creators struggle with in my opinion, but you've continued to present us with content that is enjoyable yet relatable and knowledgeable. You are forever killing it! Thank you 🤗

[feliciafullwood]

this is amazing! the production/quality of this is 10x what CNBC does and you are just one person. love to see it!!! your dad is seriously just the warmest sweetest guy ever!!!

[jasonkritzberg]

LOVE THIS! The documentary style you’re going for is spot on! Great job Shelby and very informative

[Alexandra-iztx]

I feel like there's such a big stigma talking about money for the older generations. My boomer grandparents were very closed off about money with their Gen X kids, even tho they were investing and pretty well off. It caused my parents to never take money seriously and get them into trouble financially. I love that you showed your dad's point of view and it opens the door for families to have these important conversations regarding wealth.
