Home is where the financial lessons start

Remember, the little ones are learning how to manage money by your example. Children learn a whole lot from what they see modeled in everyday life. They see how family members spend, save, give money. They are forming their ideas about the value of money.

That means wants will always outnumber the bills in a wallet.
