As a kid coming from a family that was lower middle class we really didn’t have the funds to learn financial responsibility from our parents. I remember spending birthday money on ridiculous items, never did my parents tell me that’s a bad idea or why don’t you save that for something that is going to help you in the long run? Are you doing those same things? If so there are so many different things that you can teach your children to get them ready for the “Real World” even if you don’t have the funds to give them allowance. Teach them with their birthday money, Christmas money, or even their pay checks.
· teach them how to balance a check book
· take them to the bank and set up a savings account for them
· if they are old enough to have a job make them put a certain percentage of their check in savings
· teach them what interest is
· always model good financial responsibility
· let them learn from their mistakes
· teach your kids how to spend money
· teach them how to save money
· teach them how to share with less fortunate
These are just some of the great things that you can teach your children starting from very young ages. These are things that most of us had to learn after we were in a sea of debt. Debt can put a lot of stress on a family and even your kids. Take the time to teach your kids these very important thing to where they don’t have to go through what we have all had to go through.
