In the hustle of homework checks, piano lessons, soccer practices, and more it can be difficult to remember to talk with your kids about money. Money is one of the most important topics to discuss and teach your kids to manage. It will follow them in each stage of their development, and it is essential to help instill a healthy relationship with it. One way you can do this is through teaching your children the importance of saving.
While there are many reasons this lesson is worthwhile, I will highlight the top four reasons to teach your kids to save.

While it’s true that we don’t get happiness directly from simply having money, it’s also true that money can be used as a tool to create happiness, joy, and fulfillment in our lives. I’m not saying that purchasing an unnecessarily large boat, or always spending too much when you go to the department store is going to make you happy. However, when we spend in a way that’s meaningful to us, it can be a source of happiness. Spending money can leave you feeling more fulfilled when it's spent in a way that aligns with your values.
