Teaching children responsibility and personal finance is obviously an important part of our role as parents. But it can be challenging to figure out how to best do that!
The biggest challenge for our family has simply been ensuring that we have enough cash on hand to give our girls their weekly allowance — and in the right denominations so that it can be divided between tithes, savings and spending.
DoughMain.com is a suite of family organizer tools that help you organize family schedules and responsibilities, track earnings and offer a catalog of rewards.
