Do you ever walk into Target for one thing… and walk out with ten? 🙋‍♀️ You’re not alone—and today we’re getting honest about what justified spending is doing to our wallets and our kids.

In this episode, we’re diving into the uncomfortable but critical conversation around financial entitlement—and how even our best intentions as parents can accidentally blur the lines between wants and needs. I share a real-life Target trip, the truth behind our Christmas overspending, and the mindset shift from guilt-based giving to legacy-based modeling.

You’ll learn:

• Why "justified" spending often leads to instant gratification—and debt
  
  
• How overspending on our kids can fuel entitlement, not empowerment
  
  
• The difference between modeling generosity and modeling stewardship
  
  
• 3 simple ways to start teaching your kids dignity, patience, and financial literacy—starting today

🎯 Plus, I’ll challenge you to reflect on your last 3 purchases for your child: were they intentional… or just convenient?
