What's on your wish list?

Creating a wish list is a great way to define Needs and Wants.  Use this holiday time as an opportunity for you and your children to define what you need and what you want for yourselves and for others.  Create columns on a piece of paper and post it right on the refrigerator.  Revisit the list and allow changes.  Sometimes just thinking about an item overnight may have you change it from one column to another.  Involve the whole family.  It's fun and provides great insight into how everyone is thinking about themselves and others.  May all of your wishes come true!

'Tis the Season

The spooky holiday is behind us (hope you all had a great Halloween) and there is much to look forward to as we participate in community, family and friend gatherings through the New Year.  The relationships we have with one another and the relationship we have with money are both important.  It's a good time to start thinking about money - saving, investing, donating and spending it.  Watch the video's on this blog http://www.kidsfinancecoach.com/ and visit www.afn-net.com/learning_center.cfm for great insights!
