Money Matters for Kids
Garage Sale
Bank Transactions
Start Them Young
When I was on leave last week for my kids’ check up, I also went to the bank to open an account for both of them. Like what other people say, it’s good to teach little kids the value of money as early as you can. So I told them that whatever money they receive we will put it in the bank. The money I used to open their account were the ones they received last Christmas. Hopefully they get to understand more the value of money no matter how young they are.
Last Pay
I was informed by the HR from my previous work that she already received the tax computation for my last pay and that she will request for the check prep already. That was Monday of last week. I was told that I can expect to receive my last pay this week so I’m hoping that it will be signed already before Friday so I can claim it. Unfortunately though, the tax is so high that it’s like a 1yr tuition fee of Lance in Ateneo. L I pray that the government will put it to good use. For now, I’m just waiting for the notice from my previous work that the check has been signed already. :)

No Gift Yet
My kids both celebrated their birthdays this week. My son turned 4 last Monday while my daughter turned 2 today. I still don’t have a gift for them and I have no idea what to give them. I’m thinking of giving them bullion that could served as part of their savings and since they don’t know how to spend money yet, they won’t be able to use it and by the time they need some money, its value has increased already. But then I’m also thinking if they will appreciate it since they have no idea what it is. So what I might do is to get both of them a bullion and then buy a toy that they will like. :)
