Ping Ponging Money Conversations, with Greg Menefee

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Greg Menefee. When he was growing up, Greg’s perception was that his family was just as well-off as any other. Greg was an avid skier and one year his dad promised him a new pair of $300 skis for the upcoming season. As that season drew closer, the skis never materialized. Greg ultimately mustered the courage to ask his mom about them. It was in that moment that his childhood perceptions crumbled, and Greg learned that his family didn’t have $300 to spare for the skis. As Greg tells us, the skis didn’t really matter to him, but the situation created a money conflict between his mother and father that became a recurring theme. This shaped Greg’s approach to money, making him more risk-averse and changing how he discusses financial matters.
