10yo: Mom, can I log on and check my budget?
Me: Sure.
10yo, looking at a list of work she has done: Mom, can we have a pay day? You owe me $34.
Me, silently cringing: Sure. Did you account for tithing and savings?
10yo, pointing at her spreadsheet: Yes, it’s right here.
Me, thinking to myself, “Dang it, she’s actually keeping track really well” and looking at her budget: It says right here you are investing money. Do you still want to put it into this fund?
10yo: No. I think I want to buy a silver coin.
Me: Would you rather put your money in this fund that pays interest and grows it bigger or would you rather buy silver?
She pauses to think.
10yo: Mm…. I feel like I should buy silver.
So there you have it, folks. Buy hard assets.
