For me one of the greatest ideas to save money as a teen was keep it out of the reach. A debit card helped a lot because at that time few shops accepted them as payment. Another way to keep the cash is to go out without it. Sounds silly, but really works. If I don’t have money with me, I can’t spend it.

Thank you, guardian angel, for your response. Children do need to learn that money does not “grow on trees” and that someone works for the money.

My hope is that children also learn that with careful planning and forethought, money can be a fun and interesting part of life– and working for the money can be pleasurable even when challenging.

Best regards,
Dr. Robyn

Brilliant article. However, I would like to add that telling your child how hard it is to earn money is another good idea.

I believe that if your child sees you very tired when you come home from work, he will mostly likely be conscious that earning money is very hard.

In fact, I made a similar post last around 2 months ago and hope it can also help your readers.

Thanks!
