Show Notes

Helping your kids build strong financial habits starts earlier than you think, and this week’s Wallet Wisdom episode shows you how to begin.

Brett sits down with Byron, Market Leader at LMCU’s Downtown Detroit branch, to talk about how parents can start meaningful financial conversations with their kids and why those early discussions matter more than ever.

From simple savings habits to long-term planning tools like 529 plans, Byron shares practical, real-life strategies families can use no matter where they’re starting financially. As he explains, building wealth doesn’t begin with big money, it begins with consistency and small steps over time.
