Summer is here and for many, that means entertaining the kids. Those fun activities can start adding up. The time off from school is a great time to start teaching kids of all ages the importance of managing their money. Just like teaching a kid to fish, so they learn the skill for life, teaching your kids to have a good relationship with money, teaches them young the importance of the dollar and how to save.
Some ways you can do that include:
- Food: Set a food budget and plan meals together.
- Free Events: Grab the calendar and add all the free events, make it a game to see who can find the most the whole family can enjoy.
- Groups: Look to your local community for groups to get together with, places like church, PTO or library.
