Lindsey Spiegel shares how her daughters from the age of 6 started their own Chicken egg-laying business and how that money was used to start their Roth-IRAs.
It's an incredible story of what a little guidance and intentional parenting can unlock in a child and the wonderful journey that can unfold.
Lindsey currently resides in a rural west Texas town on five acres with her husband and two daughters. With a background in urban farming and market gardening, she grows her own food and takes pleasure in cultivating the land.
