It is important to teach budgeting and money management to our children so they can practice responsible spending and saving money before they get themselves in over their head.

such as cleaning their room. My wife and I feel these self-care activities and
cleaning up after oneself are their contribution to the family. However, there are
chores that we assign a dollar value to, such as feeding the pets, cleaning cages,
