A couple of weeks ago I fist pumped for my kids being financially responsible as they both paid for the privilege of having a car using paychecks from their part-time job. Today they both received paychecks again, and I noticed they are each accumulating quite a healthy bank account balance. I started to wonder if I should have them take on a larger financial responsibility as what they currently pay is only a portion of their car payment and insurance. In the end I decided against it in favor of letting them grow their accounts, saving for emergencies or special purchases. They’re working hard, taking care of their responsibilities and saving for the future – it’s great to have them feel responsible AND enjoy the success of their hard work!
Fist pump again for my kids! Here’s your weekend financial motivation!
