Money Learnings: Fritz was fortunate to have a great role model in his father. He grew up middle class in a family that lived frugally and enjoyed life. He learned by watching actions versus direct conversations. Fritz has been intentional with raising his 23 year old daughter. They focus on building memories versus material goods. He has set up an automated savings plan for his daughter.

 

Take away: It's okay to spend money creating memories.
