In this episode of Don’t Go Broke Trying, Reni is back with another round of Coinfessions, unpacking tough money dilemmas that sit at the intersection of finances, values, and relationships. From a husband demanding his wife quit her job, to parents navigating how much financial transparency is too much for kids, to friendships and weddings strained by money expectations, nothing is off-limits.

With honesty and real-world perspective, Reni breaks down who’s being reasonable, who’s crossing boundaries, and what financial self-protection really looks like in everyday life.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How money conversations can shape a child’s future mindset

• Why “doing the easy thing” financially isn’t always the right thing

• How to navigate career vs marriage conflicts without sacrificing financial security

• How to repair relationships after money mistakes

• Wedding etiquette around last-minute cancellations

• How generosity (or lack of it) reveals people’s true values

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about money and the people you love, this episode will help you think more clearly and respond with confidence.

In this special FinCon edition of Don’t Go Broke Trying, Reni is joined by a very familiar guest — her dad, Bode the Finance Dad for a heartfelt and practical conversation about raising kids who truly understand money.

Recorded live at the Adobe Podcast booth in Portland, this short but powerful episode breaks down the early habits, lessons, and mindsets that shape a child’s financial future. Bode shares how he went from not understanding money to becoming financially savvy through self-education and how he passed that financial literacy down to his daughters starting as early as age two.

Together, they dive into:

• Why financial literacy should start early

• Practical ways to teach kids about needs vs wants

• How to use allowance, real cash, and everyday moments as teaching tools

• The MKM Formula (Make, Keep, Multiply) and why it’s the key to generational wealth

• How parents can model healthy money habits without burdening their kids

Whether you’re a parent, future parent, or someone healing from childhood money lessons, this episode offers simple, relatable, and actionable insights you can start using today.

Tune in to learn how to raise financially confident kids and make sure you don’t go broke trying.
