Teaching Your Kids Financial Responsibility

Have you considered teaching your children about financial responsibility? Maybe you’re trying to find out ways to instill monetary value, and work ethics into your children. In this day-in-age it can be hard to remind kids the value of a dollar, especially with magic credit cards and online purchases.

I’ll admit, our girls are pretty young, but that doesn’t thwart our efforts to prepare our girls for the age where they’ll be receiving a regular allowance and teaching them how to make frugal choices.

At age 2 and 5, 10 cents to them is like a “katrillion bejizzlon dollars”. I know a large number of you, my readers, have children who are a little older as well, or may be getting into the “allowance-stage” of childhood.

One of the newest, coolest, online ways to teach your children how to be financially responsible is Virtual Piggy.

As you help your child set up their Virtual Piggy profile, you have the opportunity to discuss internet safety, money management, and making wise choices. Your child will be super excited that the can, in a sense, take the reigns of their spending, while you control their boundaries and protect their identity.

Children can make purchases at family-friendly, Virtual Piggy approved merchant websites, and purchase gift cards to major brands through Virtual Piggy’s online store. {Virtual Piggy is signing new merchants every week.}

Now through January 15th Virtual Piggy is offering special promotions through their Member Value Program. http://bit.ly/MVPiggy” target=”_blank”>www.virtualpiggy.com/mvp.(*some offers will start or end sooner).
