Guess I can start this off with a funny little story about my kids. Namely one….who is way to smart (alec)for her 8 years. She watches everything very carefully…you know her brain is working..well, one day I made an agreement with her, I gave her extra cash on the agreement she do extra chores. Well…later I asked her why her chores were not done, since we had an agreement…and I kid you not…this was her response:

Quote:

What agreement are you talking about? I will need to see that in writing.


Kids do watch what you do….and I know she has watched and listened to me going on and on (mostly about LVNV) :)

Thought you all might enjoy that little story.


:lol: That is too funny, Golden!!

You are right about kids watching and learning-alot of times they watch what you do, rather than what you say.

When my son was young, we were in a store and he wanted something. He was told before hand that that week, there wasn't any extra in our budget. I told him this again and he said, "well, just write a check for it"! AS soon as we got home, he got an educational "seminar" on banking and how you have to have money in the acount, you just can't write a check :lol:

OMG, too funny!

My youngest is famous in our family for his repeated references to the ATM - "can we go out to eat?" "No, I don't have the money" "well, just go to the ATM and get some!"

Guess they've seen me use that machine a little too often! Like you, Bossy, there have been many "teachable moments" with my kids when it comes to money! This site has been a great asset - I've taught my older son (16) all about credit and payday loans through my work with this site. Every person I help through a payday loan situation becomes a lesson to the kids.
