My 4 year old has 3 "piggy banks" that she puts her allowance into. Each sunday she collects her 6 "coins" and runs off to her room to put money away for "when I get old, emergencies, and fun". She does not grasp the value of the coins she is receiving but she certainly understands that if she saves the money now, when the ice cream man comes this weekend, she will have money to spend. this summer she said she wanted to be a "farmer" so she (we) planted some veg and about once a week she harvests what is ripe and brings it to my office in a big basket to sell. once again, she has no idea of the true value of the coins she is receiving but i hope she is learning what it means to "earn".

For example, I cannot read the above post. I did notice a decrease in typer size at the simple dollar but it at least is still legible.

I find that kids learn the best from example. If the parents are frugal and careful with their money, their kids will learn to be also. I know that's how I learned to be frugal. Great post J.D.
