Amanda Custer is a mother who has a strong desire to prepare her children for the future. She recently opened up about her unique approach to homeschooling and revealed that she is using this time to teach her children how to trade. This way, by the time they turn 18, they will be ready to hit the markets and make smart financial decisions.
Amanda, who is 38 years old, started learning about trading four years ago in order to bring in more passive income for her family. As she gained knowledge and experience, she decided to pass on these valuable skills to her children. She now spends 15 minutes every day on her own trading journey and dedicates the rest of the day to her daughters' education, giving them the freedom to choose their own schedule.
Amanda's main goal is to equip her daughters with financial skills that will set them up for a future of independence. She doesn't impose a strict routine on her three girls - Adalyn, Lucille, and Anniston, aged 12, 10, and 9 respectively. Instead, she wants to give them the freedom to manage their time and prioritize their interests. This way, they will have the tools to make their own decisions and possibly never have to work if they don't want to.
After two hours of homeschooling, Amanda's daughters have the freedom to choose their own activities. These can range from fun days at the beach to bike rides. Amanda and her husband Cole are both entrepreneurs, which gives them the flexibility to create their own schedules. This allows them to spend quality time with their daughters and participate in activities with other homeschooling families.
Amanda's own trading schedule takes less than 15 minutes a day, as she manages her positions from her phone. She wanted to create a system that would make trading a passive activity, so she could be fully present for her family. Her daughters are not yet 18, so they are not live trading in the markets. However, they have a deep understanding of how to read charts, enter trade opportunities, and manage their demo broker accounts successfully.
Amanda teaches her daughters that the goal is not to predict the market, but rather to take advantage of what is happening in the moment. This mindset helps them make informed decisions and understand the importance of being present and adaptable. This approach to homeschooling is deeply rooted in the loss of their fourth daughter, Carsen, who passed away at the age of five. Amanda and her husband realized that a traditional 9-5 job would not work for their family, so they sought out ways to have financial freedom while being together with their daughters 24/7.
For Amanda, the most important thing is to teach her children the value of independence. She always tells them that their only task in life is to be happy. Whether they choose to go to college, pursue a career, become a day trader, or start their own business, she will support them. Amanda sees her trading skills as a legacy that she can pass down to her children and future generations.
