Default Re: Teaching Your Child How To Budget Money

under 6 they can't? that is the reason people wont teach their kids, they get in a 6 yer habit of assuming the kid can't get it and forget to form a habit of teaching after..especially since the kid is now occupied 6-8 hours in school, plus an hour or two of homework..no time to teach by then!

While a 2 year old may not understand money the way a 20 year old does, they still should hear of it. Words like 'cheaper' 'saving' and 'best deal' should be normal to them by 6. Words like 'waiting' 'saving', 'splurging', 'bills', 'needs' and 'budget', shouldn't come as a shock to them at 6...Niether should reading, alphabets and math.
