The divide between those parents who feel an allowance is beneficial and teaches money management and those who feel it just creates a sense of entitlement is huge. My allowance was kind of ‘extra’ money. From a very young age, you can then teach them more about the consequences of money mismanagement.

Here are things I learned about money when I became a parent. Money doesn’t matter, family does. Money is required. Back to school time can cost more than Holiday time.

This is a reserve of money for emergencies; leave it alone and don’t go dipping into it for general spending. It’s not for paying bills, going on holidays or paying college fees; no matter how urgent these might be, they are not emergencies. You’ll save money in interest and reduce your liability if times get tough.
