Most allowance efforts have the unintended consequence of teaching kids to spend and consume (“here’s some money for the week, or the month—you decide what to spend it on’).
This is not a learning experience; it’s a way to get those ‘can I, can I’ kids off your back! We hope by transferring some cash to their pocket we’ll get a little respite from their endless please for ‘stuff’ and that, in the process, we’ll help them develop economic judgment.

As a financial coach, I’m well-prepared for the onslaught of high-pressure credit card sales pitches that seem to come EVERY time I get in the checkout lane when shopping. No, no, NO credit cards for me! I haven’t had a personal credit card in close to ten years. I’d gotten myself into plenty of trouble with credit cards in the past and it’s just better that I don’t have one. I have debit cards for two personal checking accounts and my business account, and haven’t missed having a credit card at all.

If you are like any other hard working individual than you most likely have a checking account where you put your hard earned money. And, you probably use your debit card (which is attached to your checking account) to make a lot of your purchases. In doing so you should notice that every time that you make a purchase with your debit card the money is immediately taken out of your checking account and deducted from your balance. But what if you were able to earn interest on the money in your checking account? And what if that interest was compounded daily? Wouldn’t you want to leave as much money in your checking account for as long as possible? Well, there is a way to do this, which will result in some extra cash in your account each month along with some great rewards. It involves using a reward credit card and combining it with an online interest earning checking account. By doing this you will find that you have a lot of extra money to spend that you didn’t have before.

Let’s cut to the chase: employment costs sometimes costs us money. Those who are employed understand it far too well: inevitable costs arise when a job is earned. Finances are needed to transport workers to and from work sites, to sustain their energy during the day, socialize with coworkers, and pay for the cost of gasoline and various types of insurance throughout the daily activity. The employed are regularly faced with the reminder that simply having a job requires a basic level of investment, and so working classes at all levels constantly think about how to cut corners, while still investing in their futures.

Does money seem to evaporate for you every month? Where does it go?
