Investing for Your Children’s Future: Beyond the Piggy Bank?

Is a piggy bank really enough to prepare your kids for the future? While it may teach the basics of saving, it won’t cover college costs, instill lasting financial wisdom, or pass on the biblical stewardship lessons they’ll need as adults. Many parents are left asking, “What’s the next step after loose change in a jar?”

In this episode of the Financially Confident Christian, Ralph Estep Jr. shares stories from his own family and clients about moving beyond the piggy bank with tools like 529 plans, ESAs, and custodial accounts. He highlights the importance of consistency, teaching kids tithing, and modeling stewardship as parents. Drawing from Proverbs 22:6 and Deuteronomy 6:6–7, Ralph shows how starting early with faith and finances creates a strong foundation and a legacy that lasts.
