I asked Mama DI some of the questions you asked

Here is how she responded

(mini thread)

Here is the tweet that I asked for some questions: https://twitter.com/decadeinvestor/status/1309888043260796929

Question from @MinterMindMoney

“When is a good time to start teaching your child about investing?””

Mama DI: “When Kolin was 3, anytime he received birthday money or Christmas money I would have him invest 50% of it... he probably spent the other 50% on toys lol”

(cont.)

“Also, when Kolin was 15 and had his first job scooping ice cream , as an incentive to invest, I told him I would match what he put into his Roth IRA.. he put in $350 that summer, plus I matched the $350! That $350 Kolin put in is now worth ~$700”

Question from @iAmKyleCee

“How was Kolin as a child??”

Mama DI: “Kolin was a great child. He was very fun, goofy, entertaining, willing to try anything, very athletic and competitive”

Question from @wealth_thinker

“Was your first word “dividend”?”

Mama DI: “His first word was not dividend lol. Actually, Kolin was a big spender as a child. He loved to shop and he’d run out and buy beanie babies, toys, and any hot items during that time”

Question from @B_Schlag3

“How did she create such a good son?”

Mama DI: “Although Kolin was an active consumer as a child, he did spend his youth investing in himself. He was constantly working on his snapping , batting or whatever that skill was for the season”

(cont.)

“Kolin was an easy son to raise. He is very likable and such a good people person. Always had good friends around and knew how to include everyone in the room”

Thanks everyone who asked a question to Mama DI!

She really enjoyed answering and I hope this opened some more insight on my life!

I want to continue to share my life story in hopes of helping others along the way!

Have a great rest of your day
