00:00:00] It's over! Not the podcast, just season two. A talk with the Cash Kid, coming up. So, you've got some cash. Maybe from the allowance, or that money your grandma gave you for your seventh birthday. Here ya go, sweetie! Woohoo! Thanks, Grandma! Whatever it is, what are you gonna do with it? Spend it, hide it away, or maybe invest it? Let's start learning how to make that money grow. Time to learn how to be a cash kid. Welcome back to the Cash Kid Podcast. I'm your host, and today, we're closing out season two with a bang. But don't worry, the podcast isn't over, just the season. We're reflecting on what we've learned. I'll share some personal insights as I continue my financial journey as a Cash Kid. Can you believe it? This is episode 40. We've covered so [00:01:00] much ground this season the last 25 episodes of season 2 our focus was building super financial skills. From understanding a checking and saving account and compound interest to avoiding scams and shopping tips. We've laid the groundwork to set you up for financial success. We live in the information age. All the information is there. It's just taking it and applying it. Which is where we got our motto for the Cash Kid Podcast. Stating how anyone can be a Cash Kid. You just have to learn how to become one. We're all capable of it. I see it already at the age of 12. Our most popular episode, episode 22, Working for Greater Financial Education, featuring Ms. Wanda McAbee from the Alabama Council on Economic Education. She's a true champion for financial literacy. It was inspiring to hear about the strides being made to bring this critical education into our schools. She continues to be a great advocate for what we are doing and help our [00:02:00] mission. So, what have I learned in these last 25 episodes? A lot, actually. Did you know how many adults feel uncomfortable talking about money? Some even graduate from college without a clue on how to manage their finances. I'm 12. That's a bit scary. But, I'm hearing from adults who appreciate our podcast shows and how important financial education is at any age. And let's be real, we don't have excuses anymore. The information is out there, and our mission is to make it accessible for kids and teens, parents, and even grandparents. Together, we're building a healthier mindset around money. And it's crucial, because according to Business Insider, the total household debt in the U. S. hit 17.987 trillion in early 2024. Imagine what this could look like if our generation doesn't get financially smart? What I've learned from my interviews this past [00:03:00] season is how my generation will be one of the ones to not really touch money or have less of an actual emotional attachment to it because we never get the sensation of feeling it. It's all in the cloud, basically. There's also the emerging world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. How will that affect my generation? There's just so much to explore. And I'm glad you're here to join me on this Cash Kid journey. I'm actually surprised how many of my friends are starting to invest now as well. I'm getting asked. Weekly about what companies I'm looking at and whether I plan to buy or sell a stock based on the market trends. Now that I think about it, it stresses my parents out some. But, me and my friends are on this journey together, and I love the discussions around stocks at my school. It's definitely a Cash Kid goal to have more kids discussing these topics. And, as we wrap up season two, I'm excited to announce our focus for season three. How kids can start earning money. We're [00:04:00] interviewing young entrepreneurs and exploring various job opportunities for kids and teens. You won't believe the amazing things kids are doing to make money. Whether you're interested in starting your own business, learning about stocks, or just finding a way to make some extra cash. Season 3 will be packed with tips and Information. It's mind blowing to me how many options kids like me really have. So please, if you aren't already, subscribe to our show on whatever platform you're listening from.
