✔️✔️✔️ Not about how much, but the habit—teaching our children the value of saving early.
First of all, we are posting this to inspire other parents to teach their kids at a young age and instill financial discipline. We may have a different perspective about this so please respect our post.
Small savings, big lessons...we want to raise kids who value every peso.
It's not bad if they will learn how to be responsible in handling money, buy on a budget and saving for the things they want, it's an act of love to let them be financially literate. In this modern world where almost everything is just a click away and you can receive the things you like in the front of your door steps (hassle free), it is unevitable to spend even when you don't need it.
Our eldest daughter, now 13 grew up to be very thrifty. She knows how to save for the things she likes and we are very proud of her that even some of the school things that she needs, she will not ask it from us. We ask her how she managed to do that.. she said that she is skipping recess since she only have short time in school and she prefer to make ipon her school allowances so she can buy more necessary things. She is also doing sidelines in our small business so that she can earn daily.
We are proud that she value every peso and bought a phone - on her own money. She told us that her next savings will be allocated for a bank account and her own insurance 🤣 (coz we told her the importance of having an insurance and the early you get it, the better coz its cheaper). She also said that she also wants to be a financial advisor, like her dad when she turns 18. We also bought piggy bank for our second daughter so she can save for what she wants (a box of koko crunch this time)...
Little hands, BIG saving lessons 🫰🫰🫰
