We also didn’t feel comfortable with Dave’s suggestion of a $1000 starter emergency fund, which is his step #1.

Hello and welcome to the 316th Carnival of Personal Finance- Family Edition. This week I am reminding you all about those special people in your life- your family. It was during this rather taxing weekend that I was reminded of how great a loving family can be. Families are our rock, our support system, and our fans.

Now is the time to watch every penny that you spend, so that you can purchase more in the same budget or even better, put that money in emergency funds.

My grown kids are also savers and I have high hopes that the grandchildren will follow their example. To learn to live within your means is one of our primary family money values. Trepidation about having the grand-kids open a savings account. Of course, depending on what we buy, we may experience some buyers remorse.
Saving Cents With Sense

Having money automatically go into your account will help you stick to your resolution and save for your future, such as an emergency fund, a child’s college education, or retirement. Don’t shop hungry and if your kids aren’t helpful with shopping, you may want to leave them at home so you can concentrate on getting the best deals.
