Join us on Average Joe Finances as our guest David Delisle, discuss the importance of financial literacy for both kids and adults, focusing on David's journey as a 'finance nerd' from a young age and his passion for teaching financial education through his children's book, a graphic novel. He also shares the significance of understanding personal finance from early stages, the concept of 'awesome stuff' which helps identify what truly brings joy, and shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.

  • Learn how to encourage parents to break this cycle by discussing money openly with their children and helping them identify what genuinely brings them joy.
