Budgeting Tips

-Suggest your kids set up jars for savings and for spending too. It’s never too early to learn how to budget

-Have a slush fund jar that you use to put in whatever your leftovers are at the end of the week. This jar can be for a treat or a special fund. This is a great incentive to spend even LESS

Envelope budgeting works well too if you don’t want to use jars and travel well. Use plastic pencil cases or inexpensive wallets with labels for each fund.
