I don’t remember how my parents got started with me, but I remember handling a little money to go buy some bread (or cigarettes, when an 8 year old could still do that), and learning about the change, and having enough money to buy a candy on top… But my chores were “free”, there was no money attached. Once my grandmother said we could have $.10 for every cigarette butt we would clean on the beach and we got hundreds, so they stopped giving us money to do stuff!

Sites like http://www.bankaroo.com are a free way to get kids learning, setting goals and tracking funds. It’s never too early to start!
