Week 4 update! 💰👧🏻
We’re now on our 4th week since we started teaching Amarah how to handle her weekly allowance. My husband and I were never really taught much about finances growing up, we’re still learning ourselves – so we decided to start our kids young. Let’s see how it goes!
Amarah gets ₱140 per week (₱20/day) and she divides it into 3–4 categories:
💼 Wallet – for snacks or small extras (since we already pack her lunch and food sa school)
💰 Savings – for short-term goals like books or toys, etc she like to buy ( will have 1% interest every end of month)
📈 Investment – for bigger, future goals ( 3% interest every end of the year )
❤️ Charity – optional, if she wants to help others
And for those asking why her investment already reached ₱4,000 plus – that’s from her 8th birthday! Instead of buying toys, she chose to invest the money gifts she received this year. 🥹
So far, so good – she’s learning fast and making thoughtful choices. 🙌
