I don’t know about you, but my husband loves to discuss the budget at the beginning of every year. Usually right after the post-Christmas bills come in. While setting budget goals is good for our family, finances are not fun. I would rather watch paint dry; however, it is necessary and it allows us to see where we are over spending and where we can make changes. It is even more important to teach our kids how to have healthy spending habits.
If you are a Dave Ramsey fan then you may know that money habits in children are formed by the time they’re 7 years old. Isn’t that crazy?
Little eyes are watching us every day. As parents, we are encouraged to set a healthy example and they’ll be much more likely to follow it as they enter adulthood. Some healthy habits include:
- Teach want vs. need.
- Teach contentment.
- It’s never too early to teach our child how to make a simple budget. There are countless free apps that will make it more fun.
When combing through our expenses, we realized that we could save on our electricity costs by choosing a plan that is best for our lifestyle. Have you heard of Reliant’s “Pick Your Free?” Whether your husband cranks the air down to 65 degrees {Texas summers are no joke!} or you like to keep it at a consistent 75 degrees while at work, Reliant has Waco families covered with electricity plans that suit a variety of lifestyles. It is valuable to teach our children to know that not every family has the same budget or the same lifestyle.
