Kids and Money
Evan and I frequently discuss how we are going to teach Little G and his future siblings fiscal responsibility. Goodness knows, in this era we cannot depend on the government to set a good example. I recently became acquainted with the Seattle-based company, Moonjar, and liked what I saw. The company creates toys and books designed to teach children how to properly manage money. I love it!
Here is their bank for children (subdivided into three sections – for spending, saving, and giving):
It’s a simple, but brilliant idea. I got one of these for my honorary niece, four-year-old Emilyanne, and I hope that she will put it to good use. When she makes her first million in the market at 16 after becoming a silver-preferred donor to the local symphony, I’ll write another review of the product. I look forward to teaching Gabriel with toys such as this very soon!

Emmy loves the Moonjar bank. She got to replace the baby food jars we’d been using for a similar purpose. We’d labeled jars with “church,” “government,” “savings,” and “spending.” She likes her classy new bank much better–and she got to cut out the taxes to the government (us), which excited her a great deal. Thanks from her folks! Hopefully as a 16 year old millionaire, she won’t also be caught for tax evasion! Ha!
