Default Re: teaching money skills

Our kids are quite young (4, 3, 2) but we're trying to start them early. they understand that treats cost money, that leaving the fridge open and running water waste money and that Mummy & Daddy work so that we can afford a good life.

We've also taught them that others aren't as fortunate as us. We frequently go through old toys and clothes (usually before birthdays and holidays) and the kids each pick out items they would like to give to needy families. It's a great way to declutter!
