I look forward to teaching my little ones about personal finance in a meaningful way. Such precious moments :-) Looking back I wish I’d received lessons like these in personal finance.

The allowance consisted of money that we would normally spend for their clothes and personal care items. They then had to establish a budget for their needs. Any left over money (over allowance) they didn’t need was theirs. Funny, it used to be that my daughter’s precious hair had to have the expensive shampoo, but when we change to this method, the cheap stuff worked fine.

I'm 15 years old and I'm interested in easy money making (although your kids probably know more about this than me :) I stumbled upon your blog and I wanted to ask about any advice you could give me. Because of school, I don't have time for serious work, so I'm interested in easy work. I don't want to get rich in 7 days but a couple of extra $ don't hurt ;) Hello.

I tried writing a activity list with my preschool sons today. 1st item: Go to the toy store to buy Diego stuff When I said we did not have money for that they said that we needed to go to the bank to buy some money. I like the gift card idea. Very cute. I tried writing a activity list with my preschool sons today.

For Xmas I gave my daughter a Princess cash register. At the end of the transaction you are supposed to ask will that be cash or debit? I did not even notice there was not a credit option. Maybe we are getting there, just 1 step at a time. That is one of those things you never really think about. For Xmas I gave my daughter a Princess cash register.

They are teaching kids bad habits while they are young. I am impressed you are so diligent with your kids at an early age. Great job!
