It’s important to teach kids about taking responsibility. The sooner they start, the more they’ll have!

To kick off 2015, we’ve teamed up with Modoras Financial Performance Solutions to give you the chance to WIN 1 of 15 Money Savvy Pigs!

This unique 4-chambered bank is the piggy bank for the 21st century™. It helps teach children (from age 4) basic money management skills by introducing them to four money choices: SAVE, SPEND, DONATE and INVEST.

As money doesn’t come with instructions, as parents we need to teach our children how to make good financial choices. Even a young child can understand basic financial concepts if you put the right tools in his or her hand.

Keep an eye on our money and business blog page in the coming weeks for tips and tricks on how to teach your kids about being money savvy, courtesy of our friends from Modoras.

For 30 years, Modoras have helped families and businesses achieve their financial goals. Whether you’re starting to build your financial momentum – or looking to sustain and amplify the momentum you have – Modoras can help. Their proven capabilities in wealth management, accounting, strategy and business advisory will help you get you there.

  • I always give them a little pocket money, so they use this to save for books and music. If they don’t have enough to make a purchase, bad luck.


  • Rule 1. Pocket money must be earned.
    Rule 2. Buy children’s essentials but limit the treats you buy. Children who buy their own treats appreciate them more and choose more wisely.
    Rule 3. Adult children must be financially self sufficient, otherwise you won’t retire.
    Rule 4. Set a good example!


  • I actually sit down with them when we plan our budget and they get involved – they love it!


  • My kiddos know that you need to work to be paid and if you would like to buy nice things you need to save your pennies. :)
