Hello and welcome to the 316th Carnival of Personal Finance- Family Edition. This past weekend I headed out west with my husband, brother, and his girlfriend to help my parents move into their new house. They are also there working with you to help you reach your goals; even those financial goals. It has gone on for generations.

At age 50 my parents were at the top of their game, both highly compensated members of major corporate teams. When it comes to emergencies, it’s not so much a question of if, but rather, when. So build up the emergency fund now, so that the when doesn’t catch you before you’re ready for it.

Helping the parents teach my grandchildren to save is an ongoing project of mine. Each year I bring them together in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp and focus on different aspects of personal finance, with saving being a focus in each camp. This was part of my parent’s plan to turn me into a saver.
