Welcome to Wealthy Kids Academy

Hey!

I’m so glad you’re here…Thank you!!

Congratulations on starting on this important journey to teach your kids about money, investing and wealth. I am so glad you’ve joined me! If you don’t already know me, my name is Amanda Fulmer. I am the owner of Amanda Fulmer Real Estate and the founder of Wealthy Kids Academy. I am a mom of 2 boys, a wife, a homemaker, a REALTOR, an entrepreneur and a real estate investor.

About four years ago, I began a journey to create financial freedom for my family. I didn’t come from a family with major wealth. No one in my family had ever owned a business and no one was an entrepreneur. Knowing I had a lot to learn, I started consuming information like it was my job! I learned about finance, money, investing, mindset, goals, F.I.R.E, credit, assets, liabilities, time management, the stock market, crypto currency…the list goes on and on. This subject is absolutely fascinating to me so I enjoyed the process but it made me really think… I wish I had learned this sooner. I wish someone would have taught me all of this before I was 30 years old with a mortgage, 2 cars loans, and 2 kids to take care of!

During one of my research sessions, I came upon a quote that hit me like a ton of bricks. The quote said, “Don’t give your children what you wish you had. TEACH them what you wish you had known.” No kidding, the seed for Wealthy Kids Academy was planted at that very moment. The biggest thing I wish I had been taught at a younger age was money. Inheriting a lump sum would have been awesome. Or taking over a family business would have been an amazing opportunity but I didn’t really need those things. What I needed was knowledge. And even if I would have been handed those things, without money knowledge, I probably wouldn’t have been able to keep them, even with the best of intentions at heart. This idea of money knowledge is what Wealthy Kids Academy is built on.

At Wealthy Kids Academy we will dig in as parents and learn how to save for our kids even if we don’t have our own money to set aside for them. We will explore and learn about different accounts and investment vehicles that could work for growing our kids money. We will learn how to have good conversations about money with our kids and we’ll learn how to teach them to STOP and THINK when they have money in hand. We’ll talk about needs versus wants and we’ll talk about how to allocate money so that they can save, give and spend whenever money comes their way. We will explore how kids can make money and what to do once they earn it. The goal is to develop a healthy mindset, learn good habits and create a firm financial foundation for our kids.

I, too, am on this journey with my 2 boys. Thank you for joining me!
