How fathers can help their children become financially savvy.
Many of us get financial advice from our fathers and occasionally even inherit their money habits. Tom shares the interesting findings of a recent survey and what his own father has meant to him in his financial life. We then introduce our special guest, Herb Weisbaum, a.k.a. the ConsumerMan, who is here to help answer all kinds of consumer questions.
