Pete Meadows and his wife encourages full participation from the entire family unit โ no matter what age โ in a homeโs financial planning, often having themed family meetings with written agendas. Most family meetings include opening prayer, purpose and objectives, discussion of individual goals and family goals, financial literacy game, building and preserving generational wealth, physical and mental health check-in, entrepreneurship and business opportunities, stocks and investments, jobs and employment outlook, research and follow-up planning, action items and commitments, closing prayer and wrap-up which includes reflections and blessings.
So many people never spoke of finances and how to plan for retirement and their later years within their family structure, growing up or even as they reached adolescence or young adulthood. The Meadows family promotes helpful and faithful discussions within the family unit to plan for success and financial empowerment, not only within the African-American community, but within any culture.
