Ever thought about giving your kid a business loan? We did!

On our journey to financial independence, we want our kids to build confidence and real-world money skills early. So when our daughter pitched a plan for a slime business to sell to classmates, we decided to back it — with a $40 private loan from the family’s own “Homegrown Lending Department.”

In this episode, we cover:
• How we set up a simple loan contract with clear terms
• The social boundaries our kid navigated selling to peers
• How she's learning to track income, costs, and profit
• Why we believe kids' financial literacy is worth the mess and small risks

If you’re a parent dreaming of financially savvy kids — or just curious how to spark entrepreneurial thinking at home — this episode will make you smile and maybe inspire your own kitchen table startup.
