Birthday and gift money

Agree a plan before it arrives.

3 min read

Birthday and holiday money can be a big lesson, if there's a plan.

Ideas

  • Use the same save-spend-share split as the allowance
  • Let them spend part right away
  • Talk about thank-you notes
  • For larger gifts, save most of it for a bigger goal
