I had the money talk with my children and they laughed at me. Now that they are adults they realize Mom was right. I look forward to passing on my frugal ideas to my grandchildren and nephews.
My kids are already successful with money. We can always use more knowledge.
Sometimes it's tough not to simply give my child what she wants...but I know that teaching her to earn rewards will be more useful in the long run.
We've done some talks with our girls about money. We are trying to help them prioritize and see the value it has but at the same time putting things in perspective that money isn't everything.
I have had the money talk with my son, my daughter is too young. I was so proud when he received $100 for his birthday and made very wise choices. He received the money in May 2016; he just spent the last 20 bucks in January 2017.
Waitiing til junior high for the money talk
I had a brief talk with my kids and they are currently saving and investing
When I have children, I def will. I took a class in college that taught all about 401Ks, IRAs, etc. It is def a benefit for young children to understand money management. Raise your children to know what they need not want. :)
My grandchildren should start becoming money geniuses.
I definetly gained more knowledge of the book by watching video. Noticed there were a couple points mentioned that I did do with my adult son. However, as with anything else there were other areas I can learn from and in return teach the younger children. Like how points are backed up by stories and how there us something to each at every age even into college age. Love that giving back is a part of the book as that is very important to me to teach all children. But I also still need to learn better money habbits as I tend to take the giving part to extreme to the point it has effected my financial situation in a negative way. Balance in everything, right?? Overall sounds like a good book that you would refer back to over and over thru the years as the children grow.
Not yet, they're too young
I have definitely had the money talk with my three older children. I actually just helped my oldest child open his first checking account. He burned himself with it the first month, which was hard to sit back and watch, but I wanted him to learn a valuable life lesson....money really does NOT grow on trees. I think he did.
I have had the money talks with my daughter and I'm proud to say they worked. She's 24 and is very responsible with her money.
Yes we talk about the value of money and what it means to save.
I love how Tabitha says she, " is going to refer back to this book." I like books that you don't just read and pass on.
