As parents, we have discussed a variety of "lessons" we feel we must teach our children - to help them become productive members of society. We agree that one of the most important lessons parents can teach their children is about MONEY. Saving, credit, credit scores, etc. So, now that Phin is almost 20 months, and he knows his alphabet and can count to 11, we thing it's TIME to start the first lesson on money. Phin does have a piggy and frog bank that we "feed" when we find spare change lying around - but we felt it was time to take it to the BANK. :)
Ethan is now a proud member of our credit union with his very own "kirby kangaroo account." The lady who helped us set up the account told us that once he has 500.00, we can buy a CD which gets a better interest rate. I'm afraid that's a WHOLE TON of cans away, but it's good information to have! :)
