The budgeting part I get. The earning and saving part I'm still struggling with, after 20+ years of adulthood. Like any parent, I hope to do better for my own child, butI've got to live the lesson I'm trying to give, and since I'm still learning it, it's far from easy.

I think too many parents put off saving for their child's future because they think they have time. The earlier you start, the better. Thank you for sharing this with the Carnival of Family Life.

At first they were designed to be state specific. That was fine until he decided to go to school in another state. Then the usefullness goes down. Plus now we have been looking at schools in Europe so then the plans dont work at all. So now we are trying to decide the best course of action. We are still making considerations. In the meantime we sock away what we can under the tax radar. We have been researching Section529A accounts as well. At first they were designed to be state specific.

Teach them about credit. Teach them the difference between using cash, using a Debit card and using a Credit card. This took awhile before my son got the grasp of it. And every now and then he would say, "just buy it with the credit card". I dont use cash anymore. Havent for a long time. And that is all my son actually sees. So explaining to them the differences has made him a better shopper. BTW, he is 9. Forgot an important one. Teach them about credit.
