Money Lessons That Stick: Insights From 20 Years of Teaching Students | Steve Kautz (Audio)

What does it take to help young people develop healthy relationships with money that last into adulthood?

In this episode of Get Enriched: A Financial Empowerment Podcast, host Hassan Thomas sits down with longtime educator and Accredited Financial Counselor® Steve Kautz to explore lessons from more than 20 years of teaching, advising, and coaching students.

Steve shares his perspective on how parents and educators can introduce financial concepts to children, what makes money lessons actually stick, and why real-world experiences can be just as important as what students learn in the classroom.

The conversation also touches on an important financial reality: you can’t invest your way out of debt. Steve explains why understanding your financial foundation matters when making decisions about debt, investing, and building long-term financial well-being.
