Remember in “Jerry Maguire”, when Cuba Gooding Jr. tells Tom Cruise to “Show me the Money!” ? I use that same line every time I ask my husband for some cash. Several years ago, not too long after the movie was out, I was at the bank drive-thru cashing my paycheck, and I shouted “Show me the money” to the cashier. She was not amused.
Money is such a big part of everyone’s everyday lives that I’ve often wondered why its not a large part of school curriculum. Instead of those frustrating math problems that involve Train A and Train B (remember those?), why not teach children how to budget their lunch money? Yes, I know, everyone manages money differently and has different priorities, but some basic skills on how to budget, how to prioritize bills, and the importance of saving are valuable life skills.
I was fortunate to have parents that taught me the importance of a budget and savings. When our daughter was a few months old, we went to the bank and opened a savings account for her. Soon, she’ll begin getting an allowance and we’ll teach her what she can spend and what has to be saved.

I help my son and DIL too much. I should save it for myself instead.

Not investing in anything or having savings for retirement.
I think my biggest financial fault is not saving money for the future.
My biggest financial fault is never saving for myself.
I am finally at a place that money is starting to make sense and I’m trying my hardest to figure out how to make my money work for me instead of against me. I’d love to read this book to learn the code
