How to Teach Kids Financial Responsibility

Reader Comments
Back to blog

You can go even further to teach "money" responsibility to our young people.
SEE the website www.nmpnmb.com (No More Pencils No More Books). AND
when they get older... try www.nmrnma.com (No More Rent No More Apartments)
That's a trip they will all eventually take.
Good Luck.

Good title. Wrong article. The best way to teach financial responsibility is to insist that your child stick strictly to cash or checks. If you don't have the money to pay for it today, you just don't need it. Period. And the only purpose for plastic cards is to lull you into spending too much.
You use checks, not debit cards, when you want to spend money out of your checking account. Plastic doesn't even enter the picture. My kids will learn that cash and checks are good, and plastic is bad. Simple and easy to understand.
