While we’re always looking for ways to cut costs and make the most of our finances, you should never have to cut down on family time, and without spending a lot of money you can ensure a healthy, happy and united family – which is something that has no price tag. The New Kids Center highlights the importance of family as the single most influencing factor in our children’s lives and our kids should always know that in times of trouble they can count on us for all their needs. Below are six simple and cost-effective ways to keep your family united:
Communication is key and – most importantly – FREE – So be sure to really talk to your kids when they come home from school or you get back from work. Put your day on pause for a moment to listen to what your loved ones have been up to. If your kids have gone to college, or live far away, then make sure that everyone in your family has a Skype account. There are also many free applications for your cellular phone that you can use to speak with camera as well, which makes people feel closer. Not only will you save on the cost of a phone call, but you’ll be able to connect at all times and actually see each other face-to-face. Make sure that everyone is on the same mobile phone carrier as well, to benefit from free or reduced price phone calls.
