- Many Americans say dad taught them to earn money — but not necessarily how to ...
Dad taught how to get the paycheck, but not always what to do with it By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs June 18, 2026 Dad was often the first money teacher: 46% of Americans say their father taught them the value of earning money through hard work.Those lessons stuck: More than 70% of adults still follow at least some of the financial advice their parents taught them.Investing was the missing lesson: Many respondents wish they had learned more about investing, retirement planning, and building wealth at a younger age.Ahead of Father's Day this year, a new survey suggests that many of the financial lessons Americans carry into adulthood came directly from dad.According to a survey of 2,000 U.S. adults conducted by Beyond Finance, nearly half of Americans (46%) say their father was the primary person who taught them the importance of working hard to earn money. Many respondents also credited their fathers with lessons about responsibility and independence.The findings highlight how financial habits are often learned at home rather than in a classroom.The lessons that stickThe survey found that more than 70% of Americans still follow at least some of the financial lessons their parents taught them growing up.Specifically:42% say they still follow most of what their parents taught them.29% say they follow some of those lessons.Only 4% say they often do the opposite.Fathers were most strongly associated with teaching the value of hard work, financial independence, and planning for the future.Mothers, on the other hand, were credited with teaching more practical financial skills like budgeting, saving money, and distinguishing between wants and needs.The lesson many wish they'd learned soonerWhile respondents generally appreciated the financial guidance they received growing up, many said there was one topic that didn't get enough attention: Investing.Investing ranked as the financial subject Americans most wish their parents had taught them more about.

Representative of Sage Alerting Systems met with members of the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau earlier this month to discuss potential “live” in situ testing of Emergency Alert System software by Sage, according to a filing from the manufacturer that included details of the meeting. The FCC is taking a closer look at changes to EAS and Wireless Emergency Alerts, and has released a draft of a further notice of proposed rulemaking that, if adopted, would allow the use of EAS software by broadcasters if they choose. It’s a development the National Association of Broadcasters and some radio broadcasters have been pressing for. The FCC will consider the notice at its meeting on June 25. The plan is still in the discussion stage, according to according to the Sage filing. The meeting included elements that would be important to include in a potential test plan, including duration, number of participants, data collection, measuring contention for resources on shared compute platforms, cyber security and engineering support. “The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau emphasized the importance of maintaining a redundant non-test relay path in a given area’s EAS legacy relay design, and to that end, using only test areas where an approved FCC state plan is in effect,” Sage said in the filing. The June meeting between Sage and the commission was a follow-up to a “possible next steps” discussion during a software EAS demonstration Sage participated in at the FCC’s headquarters in May. In an interview this week, Radio World asked Sage President Harold Price for more details on what testing EAS software might involve and the implications of emergency alerting software for broadcasters. RW: What was the purpose of the meeting at the FCC? Harold Price: EAS broadcast from a device that is not Part 11 certified is not currently permitted. We started discussions on ways to do on-air software EAS tests before the FCC’s proposed rule making draft was circulated. Our intent was to show that software EAS was compatible with existing EAS systems in… [TheTopNews] Read More.20 hours ago - 10 Items or Less: Faster delivery pays off
