Responsibility is the key and if your kids are indiscriminately spending horrendous amounts on shopping sprees every other day, then you might be looking at a worn out credit card and a house full of junk. This may sound surprising, but kids these days are becoming more and more commercialized. They are increasingly becoming the market for the hundreds of capitalists out there and mainly because they are the ones who give in easily to whim.
You can protect them and their, or your, money from these pigs. How? By teaching them all about handling money responsibly. These days, parents are underestimating the power of being a parent, but you can actually teach them a few lessons handling cash, and probably some in life, just by following some of these few simple steps.
Money is earned. Show your kids that money is not something that they easily get and therefore take for granted. You can do so by letting them handle jobs on their own. If your children are old enough, suggest a job for them or even help them open up a new business for themselves, probably in craft shows in your state of Washington. This is a great way for them to value hard earned cash.
Tell them to save up. That's right. Sit them down and talk to them about having bank account and all the jolly good things that come with it. Tell them all about interests and how this increases their savings. Or you could also try and get them to start a college fund for their future. It might surprise what they can do with it.
Keep a budget. And what better way to teach them about this than by letting them join in on the fun while you're doing your own budgeting. You are doing your own budgeting, right? Well, if you're not, do it with them. It's a good way to lead by example.
Teaching them responsibility when it comes to handling money is one of the best things that you, as a parent, can teach your child. Believe me, it's going to save you and your future adult kids a lot of trouble if you did. - 15224
