“Working to help parents raise money-smart kids.”
Hello, friends!
I’m finishing up a long weekend trip hiking the Grand Tetons with some old high school buddies, living up to the adage, “You can’t make old friends.” 😉
So this week’s “3 Ideas to Share & Save” will be short. YouTube Short(s) to be exact.
We just launched the first Art of Allowance Podcast YouTube Shorts, and I wanted to share three I think you’ll enjoy.

Are You Experienced?: It’s college application season!
While both of our girls are now in college 😅, if you are “in the weeds,” I feel your pain. It was only one year ago that my wife and I were helping our youngest apply.
For those of you frantic folks doing your best to keep calm, PodFriend Ann Garcia (aka “The College Financial Lady” and author of How to Pay for College) has some timely advice that will provide some much-needed perspective.
For some great tips about how to pay for school, listen to our full conversation here.

Do Snow Leopard’s Have Pockets?: If you missed Smart Money Mama Chelsea Brennan’s funny story from last week, or you just want a start o’ the week smile, listen to this wonderful Share jar story below.
And, if you have young kids that you’re trying to raise money-smart, you’ll want to listen to my entire conversation with Chelsea here.

Time For Dinner (with a side of cabbage): Mr. Total Cents himself, Tom Henske, hits on a theme we talk about here a lot. While it’s important to engage kids early and get them excited about money smarts (I’m looking at you, Joe the Monkey and friends!), we parents often need a little help. Tom offers up a suggestion to spark your next dinner conversation.
There are many more tidbits from Tom that you can check out in our full discussion.
While I’m enjoying my hiking journey, I hope these three Podcast shorts help you and your family on your money-smart journey.
John, Chief Mammal
