Allowance tips & tricks — There are lots of good practical ideas in my newest podcast conversation with Mark & Kimberlee Barnes. Here are a few highlights:

  • Creative frugality and the Chick-fil-A app (mouth is watering!)
  • Transitioning from jars to a digital allowance

I spoke with the Barneses about money discussions, and my newest blog post, “Start an Allowance to Start a Lifelong Money Conversation with Your Children“, explores this idea even further.

And, last but not least, I love this quote. It gets at a key point of providing an allowance for your kids to practice:

“You won’t see how to do it until you see yourself doing it.”
