Jonathan and Jacqueline Sanchez didn’t grow up learning about money. But now, at ages 41 and 42, they’ve built a million-dollar net worth and are making sure their two kids have a financial head start most adults never get.
The couple built their wealth through a strategic mix of real estate and traditional investments. The Sanchez family takes an open-book approach when it comes to money conversations, using everyday life to teach their 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter about investing, delayed gratification and financial independence.
“We’re a very open-communication type family,” Jonathan said. “And no, they’re not too young to learn about finances.”
Instead of waiting for their kids to figure it out later, they’re showing them how wealth-building works in real time.
