Kids are smart these days. They'll always exploit holes in the system. The main problem is that buying stuff for your kids makes them like you more which further feeds into more spending. Hi Creditmom,

You and your hubby need to form a strong united front. Kids are smart these days. They’ll always exploit holes in the system. The main problem is that buying stuff for your kids makes them like you more which further feeds into more spending.

But you'd be surprised how many people without money still spend like crazy for their kids. Hi Susan,

I am trying so hard to do the right thing with our children and I just found out my husband (who has pretty poor financial habits) has been been throwing my kids money every so often. So, where I give them a set amount each week and they have to budget their money for the week, my husband will sometimes fill in and totally derail my efforts. It's a very bad message to send and we need to work on that. Our children need to understand 1) how to budget, 2) how to do without and 3) Mommy and Daddy can't always bail them out because they need to stand on their own 2 feet or else they too will develop poor financial habits in the future.

If you ask my boys today how they learned to respect money they would tell you that it is because they had to have a really good reason to ask for money when they were young. I made sure they had what they needed but we couldn't afford frivolous purchases. As a result, now that they are adults with their own financial houses to keep clean, they live comfortably but credit card debt free.
