In the latest episode of The Source: People with Purpose, Katie sits down with Amanda from the Rome branch to discuss why financial education should start much earlier than most people realize. From opening a first savings account to learning how debit cards work, this conversation explores the small experiences that help children build confidence and responsibility with money over time.

The discussion goes beyond dollars and cents. It focuses on helping kids understand the value of saving, setting goals, making thoughtful spending decisions and becoming comfortable asking questions about money. Katie and Amanda also share how parents can use everyday moments, like birthday money, holiday gifts, or a first paycheck, as opportunities to teach lessons that can last a lifetime.

Whether you're a parent of a young child, a teenager preparing for their first job or someone who wishes they had learned more about money growing up, this episode is a reminder that strong financial habits don't happen by accident. They are built one conversation, one lesson and one smart decision at a time.

Opening a savings account might not seem like a big milestone, but ...

In this episode of The Source: People with Purpose, the conversation gets real about money myths, credit mistakes, saving habits and the financial lessons people wish they learned earlier in life. Katie sits down with Tom, Lynn, Lou, and Deb from First Source to talk through the realities of growing up financially. From seeing taxes come out of a first paycheck to learning the hard way about credit cards, debt and saving for the future.

What makes this episode so relatable is how honest everyone is about their own experiences. There’s no pretending anyone had it all figured out in their 20s. The group shares stories about buying first homes, overspending on credit cards, learning to budget and realizing that small financial habits can have a huge impact over time. They also break down some of the biggest misconceptions younger generations have around money, investing and financial advice.

This episode is full of practical advice, but more importantly, it’s a reminder that financial wellness is not about being perfect. It’s about building good habits, asking questions, learning as you go and understanding that it’s never too early or too late to start making smarter financial decisions.
