@Laura – That sounds like a really cool program.

I just bought a book on teaching finances to children. It has a lot of cool activities, and I’m sure I’ll be blogging about some of them in the near future.

You are so right. The ATM is seen as a fountain of money.

We have not yet involved the younger children on money and budget discussions yet, but there is now a lot more talk at the dinner table on the need for care in spending.

I am sure a little is rubbing off on to our children.

I hear your advise and will make a conscious effort to tackle this issue with the kids.

(And I agree, this swipe card Monopoly is really, really negative.)

I thought that sort of thing as a kid, but my mom got me straightened out pretty early on. :) Then again, I also knew that dad was the one to go to if I wanted money or big things.
