"We got to stop teaching our kids that the only way to be successful financially is to have a high credit score." - Anthony O'Neal

Financial expert Anthony O'Neal challenges conventional parenting wisdom around money, drawing from his extensive experience helping families build generational wealth. He reveals how common practices like paying children for basic chores and pushing them toward prestigious universities can actually handicap their financial future. Through candid conversation, O'Neal shares how parents unknowingly create entitled mindsets when they reward children simply for existing rather than teaching them the true value of work and service to others.

O'Neal's refreshing perspective debunks long-held myths about success, including the obsession with credit scores and prestigious degrees. He advocates for a more practical approach to financial education, citing real-world examples of trade school graduates earning six-figure incomes while enjoying work-life balance. His message resonates particularly with parents seeking to raise self-sufficient children in today's social media-driven world, where flashy displays of wealth often overshadow genuine financial wisdom.
