Generational money lessons never go out of style. In this episode, we revisit Depression-era financial wisdom — simple, hard-earned truths that built resilient families and lasting wealth. From living below your means to marrying a saver and learning practical skills, these principles have guided generations through both prosperity and hardship. We’ll share 12 timeless money lessons that can help today’s younger generation navigate debt, lifestyle inflation, and financial stress. These are the same habits that kept families afloat during the Great Depression — and they’re just as relevant in today’s high-cost, high-leverage economy. If you want your kids to build true financial independence — not just wealth on paper — this episode is a must-watch. 0:19 - Will the Government Reopen? 2:45 - Buy-the-Dip Crowd Returns 7:14 - Veterans' Day Salute 8:16 - Email - Teaching Finance to Kids 10:43 - Be Frugal - Shoes & Cars 18:14 - Budget is not a four-letter Word 21:04 The $1,200 Mechanic 27:46 - Avoid Long Term Debt 22:51 - Marry a Saver - Pre-Marital Advice 32:04 - Buying a Home - Less is More 33:06 - Funding Hobbies & Balancing Priorities 35:09 - Investing for the Long Term 37:20 - Know What You Own 39:18 - Learn the Basics of Home Repairs & Cooking 42:51 - The Problem of Subscriptions 43:43 - Don't Try to Keep Up with the Jones 46:55 - Live Like the Millionaire Next Door 👉 Subscribe for weekly insights on investing, behavioral finance, and practical money management. 📍 More at RealInvestmentAdvice.com Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM5vwaXJyls&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1&t=8s ------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Buy-the-Dip Is Back," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kls3ejV3deU&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Our Previous Show, "The Rocket Market: AI, Risk, and What Comes Next," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42moSAfvL10&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugpcGzM8hHyEP11lE87RYPe&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #BuyTheDip #StockMarketRally #DefensiveStocks #SP500 #MarketRally #MarketBreadth #Investing #PremarketUpdate #FinancialWisdom #MoneyLessons #GreatDepression #FrugalLiving #FinancialEducation
