TO THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THEIR WORK PROMOTED

Hey guys and gals! We FIND and PROMOTE people's work, we never take credit for things we haven't written, we just love sharing the things that are interesting, but if you don't want your work or pictures shown, please let me know and I'll take it off, we're not trying to harm any one here or infringe on anyone's copyrights, just late night entertainment for my friends and I after a long days of work.

We're not making money off the site, nor are we publishing anything to other places through feedburner claiming that it's our work, just a hobby of finding cool things around the internet, that's all. Sometimes we copy and paste too quickly and a link giving you credit doesn't appear, if that's the case and you DO want your work promoted, we will add in the backlink, we would love to give credit where credit is due!

Please contact me or drop a comment on any posts you guys don't want up and I'll take it off within 24 hours, thanks!

Free Money Finance: Interesting Ideas for Teaching Kids About Money - VERY GENIUS

  • Let's say you give your kids $5 a week in pocket money. When it's next time to fork over their allowance, offer them a choice: They can have the usual $5 right away -- or they can have $7, equal to a whopping 40% more, if they're willing to wait a week.
  • Try varying the form of their pocket money. One week, give them five singles. The next week, give them a $5 bill. You will likely find your children are slower to spend the $5 bill.
  • When her two kids mention things they want, Ms. Becker adds the items to each child's wish list. A few days or weeks later, she goes over the lists with her kids -- and sees which items they still want to buy with their own money or receive as birthday or holiday gifts. "When they were little, it surprised me that, by Friday, they sometimes couldn't remember a specific toy they so desperately wanted on Tuesday," Ms. Becker says.
  • When Hannah went on her first school field trip, I gave her $5 and told her I wanted the change. She returned with a bag of trinkets and a few pennies. On the next trip, I gave her $5 again. But this time, I told her she could keep any money that was left over. She came back with $5.
