Our first child was so impulsive with money between 5-7 years old. She would work for her money and then buy anything she could find as fast as she had the opportunity. Then we had four more children and they all hit the same stage around the same age. It was a good lesson for us to learn that it was a phase and as they grew older we were able to teach them some of the principles you offer. Thanks for additional recommendations that I’ve never considered.

A few years ago, Delighted Husband put together a small list of chores that Dear Son does every week. Once his customer (DH) inspects the work site and makes sure the work is done according to spec, DS get a cash “paycheck”. It is such a joy to watch the wheels turn over DS’s head while he’s in the toy section of a store, calculating how many paychecks something will cost. As as for the chores, I haven’t changed a litterbox in 3 years. Glory be!

Good points no matter what your age. I have really set myself up in that I don’t know much about our money. Money makes me really nervous so I prefer to not know about it. My hub would just tell me to lay off a bit when we weren’t doing as well. Since I have quit my job to start my business, I know we have no money so that is easy. But if the hub were to suddenly kick off, I’d be in trouble since I don’t know where our investments are. Not too smart, I know but I don’t want to be involved in that.
