How to turn pocket money into powerful money lessons

Pocket money is more than a weekly routine. It’s one of your best teaching tools. Without structure, it’s just spending cash. But with a little guidance, it becomes a pathway to financial confidence.

Start by dividing pocket money into Spend, Save, and Give jars. This simple system, used in The Parent’s Playbook course by Little Finance Builders, helps kids learn balance and intention.

Encourage your child to set a savings goal - something that takes time to reach. Celebrate their success when they get there. The lesson? Patience and planning lead to rewards.

Finally, make pocket money conversations a habit. Talk about where money comes from and how choices reflect values. These discussions help your Money Wise Kids connect effort with outcome - something most adults still struggle with!

With consistency and encouragement, pocket money becomes one of the best investments you’ll ever make in your child’s future.
