3 Lessons From My Grandmother’s 101-Year Life

June 4, 2026

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🌎 Uncertainty Is Normal: Every generation faces difficult seasons

😊 Simple Joys: Contentment creates financial peace

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Investment: Legacy is built through sacrifice

📚 Education Matters: Opportunity changes future generations

🛤️ Long-Term Thinking: Wealth grows through resilience

🙏 Gratitude Perspective: Happiness isn’t tied to status

What can someone who lived through the Great Depression, World War II, inflation, recessions, and nearly every major market cycle of the last century teach us about money and life? Rob reflects on conversations with his 101-year-old grandmother, Grace, and shares three lessons that shaped the way she viewed uncertainty, happiness, family, and long-term thinking. It’s a powerful reminder that some of the most valuable financial wisdom has very little to do with the stock market at all.
