The Single Mom Money Tips series continues with ways to involve your kids and teach them about money:
1. Involve your kids in creating and maintaining a budget. Because the older they get the more money they will want.
2. Kids should know how the money is spent so that they can be more sensitive to money limitations.
3. When kids know approximately how much money is coming in and how much has to go out to maintain a life they will be more sensitive to your role as provider.
4. Knowledge about financial obligations might encourage kids to find ways to earn money on their own.
