This weekend my kids and I visited our local craft super store to get the final item for my mother's day presents. My son was enamored with EVERYTHING in the store. He kept asking if we could buy everything that he saw. I told him that we couldn't get those things because they weren't on our shopping list. He asked why we couldn't purchase something if it wasn't on the list. So I explained to him that if you buy things that aren't on your list, you'll wind up spending money that you can't afford to spend.
I have found that shopping with my children presents the most wonderful opportunities for learning about how to manage money. Of course it's more of a hassle, but definitely worth it!
