The website Nesting Place is hosting a 31 day event where bloggers post each day on different topics.
At the time of this posting there were over 900 links, my link is 929.
I have decided to participate and blog on 31 Days to Teaching your kids about money. I feel it is very important to teach your kids about money and finances as they are growing up. Part of teaching is making it fun.
One tool I have found to teach about saving, spending and giving is the Money Savvy Bank.
The Money Savvy banks have four separate chambers, for save, spend, donate and invest. The money goes into each chamber and there are openings to get the money out of each chamber. I feel it is important to teach kids about money before they get out on their own.
The banks are available shaped like pigs in a few different colors, a football and a cow.

My kids are mostly grown. And sadly, we have not been great examples of good stewardship. I’m not giving up though on my kids or my hubby and I. So agree, it is good to teach kids about budgeting before they leave home. Still determined. Thanks for the tip!
