Hey grownups- I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I'm taking some time off but I am super excited about the interview I am going to share with you this week  -  because it is with one of my favorite people- Lacey Langford. on her podcast, the Military Money Show.

In our interview we share ways to set teens up for financial success as adults, and of course my new book Launching Financial Grownups.

We cover everything from common mistakes and bad habits to avoid to Creating a healthy family ecosystem and protecting your own retirement

Lacey is someone I instantly bonded with when I met her several years ago- she has that natural gift for making everyone around her feel like it's all going to be ok. That resilience and grounded approach probably comes from her childhood as - in her words- an Army brat. She served in the U.S. Air Force. She married her Air Force sweetheart and they now have two little Army brats of their own- her words not mine.

In addition to the podcast, Lacey runs a conference called MilMoneycon and is an Accredited Financial Counselor® with over 15 years of financial planning, counseling, and coaching experience.

I hope you enjoy my interview with Lacey.
