Last night, my husband and I sat our 2 older kids down and talked to them about how they can earn an allowance and that when they first get their money, we ask them to pay 10% to tithing and 10% to savings. We were hoping to teach them the importance of having savings and that the rest is used for things that they want. Well, my son got really excited and asked "Does this mean we get credit cards?" ACK what have we taught our kids?! I know why he said it, my husband and I ALWAYS use our debit cards that look like credit cards, but all he sees is a credit card looking card always being used. I'm now thinking that we should start being a cash only family so they see that money comes in and money goes out.
