@lizbettalksmoney: There’s a part I “filmed” but realized after the fact that it was not saved because of my phone overheated and stopped recording. 🤦♀️ That is, HOW do I motivate them to do their regular chores? We are NOT a no-screen family 😅 Both of my daughters have tablets. They don’t get to watch them during the school week, but on the weekends they can - so long as their chores are done. 1 day is laundry, and the other is their room. If they don’t get it done, they can’t use their tablet. Simple as that. If they decide to not do chores all day Saturday, and leave it all for Sunday. I let them. But they also do not have access to screens until both tasks are complete the next day. It’s still a win for me because it keeps them off the tablet an extra day 🙃 Allowance is tied to school, that is their “job.” And while I know that they still HAVE to go to school, it’s much easier to explain that concept because mom and dad also go to work during their school hours and we get paid for it. What are your thoughts on paying for chores (respectfully)? 👀 #kidsandmoney #allowance #allowancesystem #kidsandchores #choresforkids

What about the child that does not get their own chores done?

Question, is the weekly allowance just free money? They don't do anything to deserve it? It's just a guaranteed weekly thing?

Do I have kids? No. Will I have kids? Also no. But I absolutely love the way you’re raising yours and wish more parents did. You are teaching them so many valuable life lessons and setting them up for an amazing and successful future! ♥️

We don’t pay for regular chores on a regular basis because it’s part of being a participating human in our household. We also don’t personally give a regular allowance ( although I love your routine) we pay for grades and learning -reading books ect.. we follow a Dave Ramsey mindset and do have them categorize all money they receive into similar buckets the way you do. However , with that being said we do pay them for extra chores above and beyond normal household contribution on occasion when things come up on short notice. For example my 12 year old was just invited to go shopping with a friend and her mom at several thrift stores. She had some money to go from her own spending money. And she asked if there way anything extra she could do that she could quickly earn additional funds to take. And in those cases I typically find something as well as sometimes surprise her with a bit extra from my own spending funds. Yes- she knows mom and dad both have a line items for spending $ too. Same way we teach her to budget. I’m curious do you have exceptions for letting them earn more for something or stick strictly to only what they’ve saved week over week? I realize yours are younger but curious on your thoughts . We only have 1 left at home as ours are 28,23,12 .

We love your content. I have an 8 year old son and we have always had high expectations. Our children are more capable than we give them credit for. By kindergarten he packs his own lunch, starts his laundry, helps put up dishes. Now that he’s older he puts his laundry up, keeps up with his room. Does the dishes. Cooks, sweeps, trash, you name it he can do it. I told him we’re not just raising our son, daddy and I are raising someone’s future husband and he should be capable of being the man of the house by the time he leaves our home. We introduced “payday” at the beginning of this year. And his job is to go to school, be kind, and make good grades. He doesn’t get extra money for normal chores. Now if he goes and works with dad on a job site we pay him for that. But just like payday money, extra money gets divided up into the three categories; spending, savings, investing. And he has grown so much in this knowledge. We plan to continue to broaden this part of his learning as he gets older and a lot of the financial literacy comes from watching how you treat your daughters 🩷 so thank you

I understand this logic, but I don't understand how you explain they get paid week just to exist. Can you explain that? i'm just trying to think of it in the real world. Right? I don't get paid money just because I am alive, it's because I go to work. I love your videos and if you want to share video that you explain this , I will watch it because I haven't found it yet.

I like how you explain to them that they have a job, and it is to go to school and learn (and they get paid for doing their job). And mom and dad have jobs (that they get paid for). But beyond jobs, a family has to function, and everyone helps out. Mom and Dad don't get paid for housework, and neither do the kids. Good role modeling, good life lesson.

What about for bigger things, like mowing the lawn or other yard work? We're planning for kids in a couple years, so I love hearing different perspectives!

Yes thank you for this! I think some parents forget they are raising future adults. Teaching them lessons like this is important.

I love this thought process because it is real life. I have incorporated this with our son. We did just start it about 6 weeks ago and he is almost 11 so we are not to the point of him offering to little extra things lol

I love your way of thinking. We weren’t paid for chores either as it’s about respecting the place you live and learning life skills
