How I Explained Money, Inflation & Investing to Teenagers

Most Canadians don’t learn how money really works—and I don’t want our kids to make the same mistakes. In this video, I break down money, inflation, and investing in a way that’s simple and real for teens. From rare Pikachu cards to buying rental properties, I share stories and lessons that helped me build wealth—and now I’m teaching them to my own kids. You’ll hear why inflation matters, how real estate can protect your future, and how young people can start building financial confidence early. If you're a parent, teacher, or teen who wants to get ahead, this is for you.
