Loading ... Grace is all about the money. The other day, she told Amy that we needed to go to the bank and get some bank (her word for money) so that she could put it in her purse and go shopping. Grace is four. While I think she is a little young to get cash for doing chores and what not, I may have to look at an option like the Target gift card available from payJr and their Chore Chart.
Designed with the under 12 crowd in mind, it allows you to create a reloadable target gift card for your charge, helping you teach fiscal responsibility at an early age in a positive way. Its also a good way to doll out allowance (this way they don’t have to worry about loosing or keeping track of cash) and since the card is only good at target, you can kind of keep an eye on what they purchase and where the money goes. The site is nice as it allows parents and children to keep track of chores online, refill the card, even designate a portion to go towards savings as opposed to being loaded on the card.
Yea, she’s only four, and there is very little she can do around the house, but maybe its time she’s rewarded for keeping her toy area clean or helping with other chores around the house.

Oh that’s actually really cool. I didn’t realize they had an option for putting a portion in savings. I begged for a savings account when I was little and my parents wouldn’t set one up for some unknown reason–now I can’t save anything…I blame them.
