Investing in your children/family in 2025

[Joe S.]

So there was a thread that was started a number of days back that is actually gaining quite a bit of attraction. Didn’t know how to post the link so I’ll just reference it.  The title is…. What are your real estate investing goals for 2025. The thread was started by @Jonathan Greene

After reading through a number of replies, there was one poster  that mention his son and his son’s accomplishments that were going to take place and some that had already happened. it really got me to thinking.

So many times people count their accomplishments and goals for themselves, but how often do we consider helping fulfill the accomplishments of our family, especially our children as a personal accomplishment for ourselves? 

In 2025 I want to be a greater blessing to my family. I want to invest in the lives of my children.  I want to be a good husband to my wife. 

One of the goals I plan on happening in 2025 is to help my oldest son buy his first investment property. He already has a down payment saved up just needs a little bit of help getting the first deal to the finish line.

I personally think that a win for someone close to us, especially our children should be considered a win for ourselves.

What’s your thoughts? Anything come to mind that can bless your children and family in 2025?

Glad you posted this...made me think and jot things down.  There is nothing more important than investing in family.  My four adult children are out of the house; so, below are goals for our 11 year old and me.

Read 15 minutes per day and log it.

Set limit on daily electronic use.

Clean up after himself (toys, push chair in, dishes, clean bedroom, clean car).

He plays sports and has a few tough baseball goals that he works with me on (inside/out swing, pitching mechanics, 3B fielding).  This is not about becoming a college or pro player.

Work on (fun) physical and mental toughness with me at the house (wrestle, tackle football, physical basketball).  He's empathetic and smart; so, working on adding more toughness.
