I'm not worried too much as he's only just turned five but I have been a bit stuck for ideas on what I could do to help him learn. All of a sudden it seems to have clicked a bit for him.

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐1) Master Frugal is now up and running with his provisional driving license and is ready to start learning to drive. I wanted to buy him a car to help him put into practice with me what he'd learned in his lessons in a similar way to how I used to take his older sister out for drives.
