About this lesson
Money is fuel. You are the engine. Engines first. The highest-return asset your child will ever hold is their own capability. Match dollars they put toward learning. Toys stay full price. Gear without reps is consumption in a costume.
What you’ll learn
- Match money aimed at skills. Leave toys at full price.
- Skills stack. Two ordinary abilities joined become one rare one.
- Fund the practice, not just the object.
- A good job pays twice: wages plus skills you keep.
Skills your family will build
