Kids And Money: The REAL $50,000 Question

July 14, 2014 by Kath 1 Comment

A friend recently posted this question about allowance on her Facebook feed: “I’m not of the thinking that you hand your kids $50+ when they want to do something with their friends. So today is a big day of yardwork. Once completed I will reward him with some hard earned cash. Seems fair to me… do … [Read more...]

I am becoming "aware" of what I spend and the fact that I am saying it "out loud" to my son is the bonus! I found my little guy in bed with his flash light the other night counting his piggy bank money. I was furious because I could hear change … [Read more...]
