Fri, 4 Jan 2013 10:36:53 Financial journalist Maya-Fisher French joined Leigh and personal finance regular, Paul Roelofse, to tackle the tough issue of budgeting for the holidays if you have kids. It was mentioned that studies have shown parents’ financial stress negatively affects the kids, so not only are you saving them stress of their own, but by tightening the purse strings you can teach your kids valuable life lessons about delayed gratification, enjoying a limited amount of experiences more and dealing with the peer pressure of keeping up with everyone else. Callers had useful techniques to offer, such as asking kids to produce detailed budgets, doing chores around the house for extra cash or signing them up for a children’s savings account. Some callers had some very strict measures such as producing receipts for all goods purchased. Whatever you make them do in pursuit of being financially responsible, our guests stressed the older folks should take the lead and do the same.
