Sheryl Garrett Spend Quotations

Give your student the opportunity to earn money while under your roof. Agree on a reasonable split of your child's earnings--save most for school, but don't forget some fun. Allow your child to make decisions on how to spend some of the money on a car or a trip to Europe. You want to start early so you can guide your children and have some influence over their decisions.

What you can't see, you won't spend foolishly.

With time on our side a couple of months in advance of the holidays we have the opportunity to step back and ask, 'What's a reasonable amount of money I can spend on holiday festivities, gifts and donations?'

For most of us, it took years to develop bad financial habits, and it will take at least the same amount of time to create the good habits we want. People spend more time planning their annual vacation than discussing their personal finances. That's not healthy, especially for newlyweds.
