I wish my mom would have thought to do this with me. Well I've learned i'm over 30+ and I think its great that you are taking the interest and the lead in planning for her financial future. How else would she learn, without someone (her mom) to show her the way. Well done! I think you are an amazing mom, sigh. I wish my mom would have thought to do this with me.

But, what about "Giving"? Maybe you have a different stance on this that I haven't read, but what about 70% spending, 10% giving, and 20% saving? It's never too early to teach about giving back and helping others. <strong>I didn't need to wait until she earned a paycheck to teach the importance of giving back and helping others.

I wish that I had a mother like you who knows that traps that lie ahead financially. I am 36 and in my life time I made numerous financial mistakes like filing for 7 and 13 bankruptcy, not having a savings, and makes unwised financial decisions. Now I know better!! I am tracking my spending, keeping up my emergency fund, and my ING account. I love ING!! Been trying to get my friends and family to jump on board.

I like the plan you've laid out for her! Definitely setting her up to understand time and money management. I will have to keep that in mind when my son gets to that point. Yay on her first job!
