As a single parent that was *less* than good with money throughout my youth, teaching children about money is CRUCIAL, in my mind. I’m not going to blame parents, schools, etc, but quite simply, I clearly “didn’t get it”, and I am still paying for those mistakes a decade later! And quite frankly, I hate the position I got myself in, everytime I pay off my past debts… I could have used my time/money sooooo much better. Our children must EARN their allowance, no freebies!!

My mom always made me work for spending money. And when I turned 15 and a half, it was time to get a job if I wanted money. I agree. My mom always made me work for spending money.
