About this episode
Ben and Ernie get a handful of recurring questions that aren't quite big enough topics to make into their own episode, but nevertheless deserve to be answered! In today's show, they tackle some of those questions, including:
- What does Ben mean when he talks about the "matchy matchy game?"
- Helping kids learn to budget
- Should you have separate categories for kids' expenses?
- Tracking investments in the budget
- The pros and cons of simplifying your category structure.
