Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.frugalwoods.com/2014/10/16/beyond-the-allowance-raising-a-frugal-kid/ Quotes to ponder: "We cannot expect our children to understand money or make smart money choices if we only talk to them about it on holidays or every other weekend." "Make ‘money talks’ a central theme in your home and look for opportunities all the time to teach a new money lesson." "We have made it a habit in our home to continuously teach good money skills just as we made it a habit to teach good manners."
