7 facts about money that will make your hair stand on end….
As a child, one of my favourite things to do was to count the money in my Dad's copper jar. I had a little system going on and I vividly remember putting all the copper into equal piles and then adding them up before transferring them into money bags ready to be paid in to the bank (there was no supermarket machines for this back then).I also remember the smell on my hands afterwards and my Dad telling me to go wash my hands - sometimes I did, sometimes I went upstairs and just ran the tap pretending to wash them (which took just as long as actually washing them if I recall).I can … [Read more...]
{Free Printable} Encouraging Children to Save their Pocket Money with a Fun Savings Tracker….
We don't have any rules around saving pocket money here and we leave it up to the kids whether they want to save their money or spend it. Obviously I want them to learn to save but at aged 10 and 12, I'd rather they saved because they wanted to and not because I told them that they had to if you know what I mean.Miss Frugal has been doing really well with her money management since we got her a debit card with GoHenry. The app really encourages her to save with a great savings tracker which seems to be doing the job as far as making her want to save some of her pocket money but I don't … [Read more...]
Our Day at the Dogs Trust….
Last week we were lucky enough to be invited along for a bit of a VIP tour of our local Dogs Trust centre in Darlington. Miss Frugal was ridiculously excited about the day as she loves the Dogs Trust and regularly sends me emails of dogs that she's found on their site that she thinks will make a good friend for Buddy, our little Bichon Frise.The Dogs Trust centre was very different to what I was expecting and I wanted to share a little of our experience with you today but to more than that, I want to inspire you to pop along to your own local Dogs Trust centre or even better, to sponsor a … [Read more...]
Teaching Children about Money: When’s the right time to let your child have their own debit card?
Both of my children have received pocketmoney for a good few years now as I really believe that learning to manage their own pocketmoney is a great way to help them learn money management skills that will be invaluable when they’re older.We don’t have rules on what they have to do with their money as I’d rather they learned themselves so I don’t tell them what they can and can’t buy (within reason) and I don’t make them save a set amount out of their weekly allowance. I think this has helped them learn more because they've had the chance to make mistakes with their money – they now realise … [Read more...]
