I really like this article! As you said, saying no to your children teaches them to be considerate, rather than teaching them that they will always get whatever they want. But it also teaches more than that. When you set the example by saying no, it teaches them that they are allowed to say no. If you always say yes, you won’t be able to continue to take care of yourself, and if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of your children.
Love this blog, keep up the good work!

thank you so much for this post!

very touching story about your son, and while my daughter isn’t yet at an age where she understands much (only sixteen months), i definitely plan on taking your advice and educating her on the family budget as she grows old enough to grasp the concept of money. you are doing a great thing for your kids, especially at a time when we are starting to realize how uneducated we are about money as a society.
