I'm frankly in awe of folks like you and Jay - I lived through the poor student phase too but managed to get myself into lots of credit card debt and didn't learn much of anything during that time. Now our family is living frugal and loving it. We're saving money which brings so much peace of mind. And we are also trying to teach our kids that which we had to learn ourselves (over and over again, it seems!). Kudos to you for talking about it with your kids.

May I suggest interest, too. My husband told Boom that if he does not spend any of his money for a certain length of time (and he is doing great, as he is really wanting a Playstation and we said he would have to buy it himself) then he will pay him interest. It's a great incentive, and they learn about this concept early. Good for you!
