Why Kristin Cavallari Says She Makes Her Kids Fly Coach While She's in First Class

Kristin Cavallari wants to put some cabin pressure on her kids' financial future.

Indeed, the Very Cavallari star shared that in an effort to teach her and ex Jay Cutler’s kids Camden Jack, 13, Jaxon, 12, and Saylor, 10, about the value of money, she has them fly in coach while she travels in first class.

“My kids don’t just get whatever they want,” Cavallari said on the July 7 episode of the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast. “And if they want something, they have to work for it.”

After all, she’s “hyper-aware” that her children are “growing up in a very fortunate situation,” which is why she seizes any opportunity to teach them a financial lesson.

“Something as small as they fly coach, I’m flying first class,” the 39-year-old continued. “That was important to me when they became old enough that they could. It’s not [difficult to do] when they’re older. I’m like, ‘Bye guys, have fun back there.’”

She added, “It’s good for them. And I think it’s the little things like that as a parent that make, ultimately, I think, a big difference in the long run.”

Plus, the Laguna Beach alum is encouraging her kids to learn entrepreneurship because, as she put it, “This is my money. This is not your money.”

“A good example is last summer, both of my boys created their own little businesses,” she shared. “One of my boys was washing people’s windows. And the other one was washing people’s garbage cans. Because if they want something, they got to go work for it. And they got to make it happen.”

In the end, though, the Uncommon James founder’s mindset is founded on putting her kids first. So, she has made sure to build her life and business around prioritizing her little ones.

“There are so many ways to come into being a business woman and a mother and there is no one size fits all,” she said, noting, “What works for me is very different from what will work for you.”
