Give Your Child an Allowance
Starting kids off with good spending and saving habits is essential to a life of fiscal responsibility. If you give your child an allowance, show them how long it would take to get a large toy if they saved their entire allowance. Also, show them how long it would take them if they only saved a small amount.
For example:
Allowance: $5/week
Big toy: $30
Weeks needed to save: 6
If they only save $2 of the $5 it would look like this.
Allowance: $5/week
Saved: $2
Big toy: $30
Weeks needed to save: 15
