We're all very much aware of the global financial crisis going on and its effects on us and our families. Retailers are reporting a record low for sales this year because everybody is trying to keep up with the times. It's not a very good idea, therefore to let loose our teenagers out on the mall with their credit cards as this could be disastrous to your family's finances.
Parents have the number one responsibility of teaching their children all about spending wisely. However, not a lot of parents out there dare to stand up or even completely forget all these completely. Some would even claim they don't know how. So if you're stuck clueless on money matter lessons, then here are a few useful tips to get your lessons started.
If you have a young child, it is best to let him or her discover the real value of money on their own by letting them work hard for it. It's a well known fact that kids are more likely to give more value towards things that they worked hard for. If they're a little older, try telling them to work or start their own business, like setting up their hobbies for Rhode Island craft shows. Believe me, this idea works like a charm.
Consider opening up a savings account. It's good to have a piggy bank to save some of their allowance or earnings in, but of course, while their at it, why not save it inside an actual bank instead. More and more banks nowadays carry special promotions for young savers and even teenage clients. There are a lot of things they offer that make the prospect even more enticing, like membership to special clubs and all that.
Show them how to budget. It's important to always have a plan to keep everything in order. This may be a bit frustrating, especially if our children tend to lose on some of the budget's aspects. Good thing, you're there to give support and teach them how to rectify financial woes, young as they are.
There are a lot of great ideas out there on how to make our kids more involved when it comes to saving the family from financial struggles. All we have to do, as parents, is show them the way and guide them with every step they take towards a more responsible future. - 16928
