I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

Q10: Shopping is a great opportunity to talk about priorities, values, and how money fits into that. Once they're old enough, give them a small allowance and allow them to make their own decisions and learn from the consequences. #PgTalksMoney

This is a great approach!
A. 9: Please don't kick me out of the twitter chat, but I'm no longer saving for my son using a #529plan. Hear me out! I prefer to set up a brokerage account for him and a regular savings account. We can use the funds any way we choose if he doesn't go to college. #PgTalksMoney

A9: Maxing out your Roth IRAs is generally a good first step. They're effective college savings accounts but they can be used for just about anything. #PgTalksMoney
Q9. What’s your top tip for setting up an education savings plan? #PgTalksMoney

A9: Make sure you're own financial foundation is secure first. That means emergency savings, insurance, estate planning, and retirement savings. It's the whole mask on the airplane thing. Secure yourself before you help your children. #PgTalksMoney

A8: I wouldn't worry about it being "equal". Focus on finding a balance that handles the things you need to handle and that feels good. You don't need to keep score though. #PgTalksMoney
Q8. How can parents equally balance responsibilities if one partner stays at home with the kids and the other works? #PgTalksMoney
