Teaching Kids About Money!
Have no clue how to teach your kids about money, how to save money or how to spend money? Never fear! Iâm sharing my tips on how to teach kids about money today in this fun little video.
Your kids might collect money from Birthdays, Christmas and other holidays. Until they learn what it is like to not have any money (and want to buy things), they don’t really learn how to save or how to spend wisely.
After this video, Devyn spent the rest of her money on a bike. And even though Rockwell’s Coinstar balance was only $1.35, he had dollars already in his ziploc bag. He spent the rest of his money on a toddler bike too. Ever since they ran out of money, they’ve asked for us to buy things. We’ve had to tell them “no” and encouraged them to do chores to earn money for the things they want. It’s totally worked!
Oh- and by the way- MOST of the Furniture & Decor from this video is actually from IKEA! No joke! http://freebies2deals.com/IKEADecor They have lots of sales going on right now. Plus, sign up for IKEA Family and get exclusive offers sent to your email: http://freebies2deals.com/IKEAFamily

I guess it is time for my little one to start earning money. He is 2 1/2 years old and my older one, He is 11 years old to continue doing chores. How much do you suggest giving them, I will think all depends on the chore and their age right?
+Claudia Costello Making your Bed and things like that I think should be chores they are expected to do. But extra things–like using lysol wipes on the doorknobs like I talked about in the video can definitely be something a 2 1/2 year old can do!
Awesome thank you so much for answering my question, I love your show, and have been following you for a while on your website.

How much do you give your kids for their chores? My husband is gung-ho about allowance, but I was never given allowance as a kid and it seems like… uh…no, they can do chores because they live here…no one pays mom or dad to vacuum. Maybe that's awful, but if it's a realistic number I might be more on board. And I agree, they'd need to EARN it.
+Morgan McRory My kids are young, so I've just started with quarters. You kind of have to just start out with what you and your husband think is fair and then raise it as they get older. But I agree with you, regular chores like Bed Making are things they should just do. After they have finished their regular chores… then give them a list of things they can do as "Extra" to earn money.

The bank tellers don't actually have to count the money lol.. they just put it through the machine just like that one
+mailosgirl2 Haha, yeah I know. I think I was trying to say, I would rather have the kids do it themselves and have a hands on experience. And from the comments on Instagram, I guess my bank is one of the only banks that doesn't have a free money counter in the lobby?? Good thing I wanted them to spend all of their money, lol!

Your kids lost 9.8% of their money just for using that machine.
+J. Stewart Yes, I know. I wanted them to spend all of it for this experiment to help them get back to a place where they had to learn to earn money and know what it felt like to not have it. 🙂
+The Melea Show I understand why you made them spend all their money. I don't understand why you made them use a coin machine that charges 9.8% to count their money.

My tip is to not pay for normal chores. I think kids should know they are part of the family and they have to help. Pay them for extra chores. We are having the kids save up for Disneyland – hopefully these tips will help when buying souvenirs.
+Sarah Johnson Totally agree with you!

Great tips! I was a seriously worried you were going to make your daughter spend all of her $80 and was so sad thinking about the interest it could have made in the bank 🙂 (a side note, the audio in your videos sounds echo-y and it's hard to hear sometimes.) I love all the videos so far! keep it up!

Talking about saving money while she's wearing a pink sweatshirt. Now I shop there for most of my stuff but it's pretty expensive at times
I love pink too! I actually use coupons on all of my VS PINK Purchases. So I think this sweatshirt was only $25! Way cheaper than they normally are. 😉
