Sesame Street has a website that parents and educators can use to teach kids about money, making choices, and more. Children learn about money by observing their parents and by following their example. As a parent or educator you can guide your children’s understanding with easy activities about making choices, determining what is valuable, sharing, spending, saving, etc. As a result of this education, your kids will grow up to make good financial decisions. The process of learning should be fun and at their level. Check out this link for ideas and activities: http://www.sesamestreet.org/parents/save
It has been almost 70 days since we packed up and left for our big road trip. We have traveled more than 17000 kilometers and we have seen many amazing things including glaciers,canyons, mountains, the Pacific Ocean, a variety of marine and land wildlife, and so much more. We are appreciating every day of this journey, and although it does have its challenges, we have been really blessed by this experience so far.
An easy way to get rid of many types of stains on your clothing is to simply run cold water over the stains and rub the material vigorously between your fingers. By scrubbing with cold water right away, you can often remove chocolate stains, blood stains, and many other types of food stains. I find that using warm water doesn’t work, and for some types of stains the sooner you do it the better. There are all kinds of expensive stain removers you can buy in stores but sometimes they are just not necessary. First try the simple and free method of scrubbing under a cold water tap. It might take a few minutes but it is well worth the effort.
Do you know if your company has a pension plan? All too often employees are very unaware of all the employee benefits their company has to offer. Even if they have a pension plan they are often unaware of most of the details around it.If your company does have a pension plan, consider yourself blessed. Not nearly as many companies offer them as in the past. However, it is important that you understand what exactly you will be entitled to when you retire or leave your current job. Also, if you want to ensure adequate funds during retirement, you are going to want to make sure you are contributing towards your pension plan if applicable.
If you want phone, cable TV and Internet, you may find it is cheaper to subscribe to all three services using just one company. By “bundling” your services, companies often offer deep discounts, at least for the first year or so. Companies will do whatever they can to earn your business, and they would love to be your sole telecom provider, so compare the various providers in your area to find the best deal. Then, if you have currently signed up with more than one provider, consider switching all of your products to the company that can give you the best price.
