## Resource

Do you feel like you need to have your own finances “perfect” before you start investing for your children? You don’t. In this Start Here episode, Canna breaks down how you can begin building wealth for your kids — even if you’re still learning, growing and figuring things out yourself. Because waiting for the “perfect time” often means missing the most powerful advantage your children have: Time. In this episode, we cover: ✔ Why you don’t need to be financially perfect to get started ✔ The power of starting small (and why consistency matters more) ✔ How investing for your kids can actually strengthen your own financial habits ✔ The emotional benefit of investing with your children, not just for them ✔ How to introduce children to money, investing and long-term thinking ✔ The role of compounding and why time in the market matters ✔ How to think about structure (in simple terms, without overwhelm) ✔ Why this is about building generational knowledge — not just wealth This episode is not about doing everything at once. It’s about: • starting where you are • using what you have • and building something meaningful over time Because one of the most powerful messages you can give a child is: “I believe in your future.” 💡 Key Takeaway You don’t need to be ahead to help someone else start.
