Starting small is key. I like the reward system because it is a good way to help motivate someone towards a specific goal. In terms of chores, I like it because it is incentive. If they don't do chores they don't get the money, toy, etc. @Scott I don’t blame her for not having interest in something that confusing, I wouldn’t either at her age, not fun to talk about now that I am a little older.

Right now we are not even telling them they are called chores, but are just part of being in the family. I do talk to my daughter about savings, but since she's 5 I don't think she fully understands the concept. When we sit down to talk about her 529 plan she just looks at me and wants to visit another website :) <abbr><em>Scott @ The Passive Dad’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thepassivedad/BEqd/~3/532509129/" rel="nofollow">How We Shed $200 From Our Grocery Budget.
