<prompt> Human: What methods did you use to teach your kids or used on you financial responsibility? How effective dodid you believe it to be? i.e. expectation vs realityAs an expecting father of a new baby girl in Sept Yay!!, Ive been thinking about this topic a lot.Ive read a few threads about involving the children in family financial discussions which I will definitely do.One cool one I learned While interning, the CEOs son was interning a long side, he mentioned at 12 years old, his dad had given him 1000 and if he could grow it to 3000 by 16 he would buy him a car at 16k 2005 money. He said he started out mowing a lot of lawns and I forget the details 10 years now but he clearly achieved the goal because he was talking about the car he was going to buy with it. He was shopping around for a 1995 VW Jetta.It hit me recently that the 95 Jetta would not have used up the full 16k, nor anywhere near it.I like to believe it was simple and effective. That while he had 16k to use, he could save and still achieve his goal of owning a car at 16. The money gave him the option to do other things. Also, that his dad was still teaching him because 16k was definitely not brand new BMW, Benz money.What idea have you-triedbeen-tried-on-you and what was the result?  <response>: My parents always had me put a percentage of my allowance into savings and a percentage towards charity. I think that worked really well for me. I think it showed from a young age that even if x is your money, its really not all your to spend on whatever you want.The charity money could be used however I wanted as long as it was an actual charity. As a young kid, I think this gave me freedom to make choices and feel like I was helping something. For example, when I was in first grade my class bought an acre of rainforest. I really liked that so I saved my charity money to do the same myself. As a 67 year old, that was pretty cool.
