This is the most crucial thing that most often gets missed. Teaching your young kids responsibility and money management so much ppl hating on them and I see nothing but an amazing strategy I wish my mom would've done with me.
The thing that I love about this is that the kids don't have to justify "wasting" money on some products the parents might think is a waste. The kids waste the money on their own and learn that lesson young
i WISH i had this as a child,,, i think i would have significantly less anxiety and guilt when it comes to spending money if i grew up learning how much it actually costs to live.
@@matemahe that’s so interesting,, we were both raised differently but have the same outlook on spending money on ourselves… wonder if it’s just unavoidable then😪🥲
I think this is a good mom. Our children need to learn while at home. Not after they've moved out. 115 dollars every 3 months is a good chunk of money. You just keep teaching them you and your husband decide. They are your responsibility. While living at home.
This is the thing that always infuriated me growing up. Taxes? My parents say the school should teach it, the school says my parents should teach it. Budgeting? Same. Basic home econimics? Same applies there. Literally anything I could use if I don't go directly to university? Have to figure it out for myself once I move out. I've lucked out, in a way. As a result of a major housing crisis, my parents have to put up with me because if I move out, they get booted (rental agreement specified a number of people per room) so I do have the luxury of being able to figure things out without being completely alone.
At 10 when I went into foster care we were given money every month to buy personal products, school supplies, and food. It taught me so much! Kudos to you!
yeah like the person who replied said not many foster cares do that. i was in and out of a foster shelter / foster homes and they never gave us any money at all. i remember picking up quarters off the street to try and get myself a dollar coke at the store after school. i later got a job that completely exploited me just because it gave me some pocket money-just got out of the system this past january tho :)
@@Celestials1auroraagreed. I was in a kinship placement after my mom died and wasn’t even made aware of any finances (when i asked was told you don’t need to worry about that the adults will handle it.) 26 now and am just learning how to budget properly
@@achilles8940proud of you for making it out ❤ I had a friend growing up who was put into foster care in middle school, and she took her life our senior year of HS. I think about her often. Lots of people just don’t understand how terrible the foster care system is & how bad some homes can truly be.
My question is.. you're letting teenagers decide how much money to spend on hygiene, and whatever is left they get to spend however they want to? Stinky, sticky, sweaty teenagers? I definitely trust a girl to be mindful of her hygiene, but growing up with 4 brothers, no, I wouldn't trust a 13 year old football player boy to decide how much money he wants to spend on hygiene and what to buy
Where is the rare footage of ur parents giving u attention or teaching u cuz clearly u don't know middle kidz r the best and parents love them more so parents don't have to worry abt them bc parents know they don't have to worry abt the middle children so stfu
@@spider.monkey.ninja.assassinif they ever need to increase the amount the kids get for this, they could turn it into another lesson on the economy and inflation
Omg so true tho! Especially with teenage girls nowadays, she would bewanting makeup..skincare..haircare etc, 115 would get me a bit of makeup and thats it 😭
@@ItsYaGirlEdie Having catalogued my entire skincare and makeup collection, I can tell you right now that $115 will get me: a shampoo ($11), a conditioner ($11), a bar soap ($4), a body wash ($8), a shaving cream ($7) a body lotion ($7), a Deodorant ($8), a body spray ($15) ($71 for body), a Cleanser ($10), a Moisturizer ($10) ($91 Total), a Concealer ($9), a lip cheek tint ($5) and an eyeliner or mascara ($10) ($115 total). These are all current supermarket prices near a major city. That's all a kid her age needs.
@yourlocalcatboy3584 do you know the exact prices of everything they need in the shop they go to? No? Then how would you know whether it's too much or not?
Her parenting is so good she ends up spending less and teaching her kids great tools. When you just hand out money here and there you don’t keep track of it! 😊
She is a horrible mother btw. This is the only things she’s done right. She forces her kids to sleep on shelves in an rv, they can’t have friends because of the forced life style, she publicly humiliated them on RUclips for mistakes and private situations and her children have even posted on Reddit that all the want for their birthday is a hotel so they can have a comfortable bed to sleep on away from their parents
@@mackaroni9792 forget about everything ive said, i did some digging and fuck, while i do agree that this is a great thing to do with your kids the fuck is happening with the reddit comments though..
I love this idea. I feel it’s such a great way to teach them without the pressure of actually having to “work” for it. Not a punishment, just enabling them to be smart about money and spending.
@@danferrusquia2819 assuming just toothpaste, yeah you’re right. The point was that they may not buy general hygiene products to save money for other things, but the first comment claims otherwise
@@littledancingfawn She said that her daughter gets 115 every three months, she spends the some of the money on hygiene, she said in the video, whatever is left of the money they get to spend on whatever. So she's not spending 115 every three months on hygienic products, only if she wants to.
Actually for every 3 months it depends on what she buys. Like toothbrushes toothpaste and anything that they made need for their face like if they get pimples or something. But yeah you can end up having to spend that much on hygiene products.. which is why for whatever I can get at the dollar store I end up going there with my grandma

It isn't too late to learn! It's more challenging when you're young and your income might vary from month to month (or week to week) but sit down and make a list of all of your absolute necessity BILLS... rent, phone, internet, etc. as you'll need to prioritize paying these things first. Then look at how much you'll be bringing each week or two, depending on when you get paid (or every month if you're unfortunately paid once per month) and figure out the due dates for each necessity bill and decide which check you'll need to cover that bill with. If rent is due on the 1st, you'll probably want to cover rent with the check prior (or two checks or whatever, however it works out). Then, with what you have leftover (if any) and the money from the next check, you'll pay the rest of the bills you didn't pay in the first half of the month. If the due date of a bill falls at a time when you don't have the money every month because you're waiting on the next check, call the company and ask for your due date to be changed. Most companies will do this for you. Once all of your necessity bills are covered, you'll know how much you have leftover for spending. If you have a bill, like electric, that can fluctuate, figure out roughly how much it is on average and budget that amount monthly to make your budgeting easier. On the months when it's lower than your budgeted amount, tuck the unused budgeted amount into a savings account that has no minimum balance. Seriously, DO IT. Then, on the months when the bill goes above your budgeted amount, you've got a safety net to pull from for that bill. I do this for my electric. I budget $100 monthly but it's around $60 for a lot of the year but then can really get up there during the summer months so every October I start fresh with an empty account and start filling it up again. If there is anything leftover after Summer, I either give myself a payday of something fun, put it in my retirement account, replace something that has worn out around the house. For gas in your car, consider putting a monthly gas allowance on a giftcard or a seperate account. If you go over, pull from your fun spending money and if you don't use it all, roll it over to the next month... and if it builds up, either give yourself a free month to take your gas budget money and do something fun with it OR put it in your retirement savings. I do this (sort of) with groceries. I give myself a $300 budget each month in a separate no minimum balance free checking account. Sort of like food stamps allowance, if I go over, I don't let myself dip into my spending money. I live within my $300 budget (which is a generous budget for me). You'll learn to look for good sales, coupons, etc. to help stretch your budget. :)
Bro I'm literally so happy that your kids are getting to learn how to manage finances because as an adult who recently moved out of my parents house I am STRUGGLING. I suck at managing finances and never learnt how to save or efficiently utilize money or manage my costs. Its literally trial and error ATP and I run broke every month and its frustrating and stressful as hell. Parents really need to trust their kids more and realise that unless taught, kids are going to have a hard time learning.
One thing that has helped me budget since I was a teen is to pick a notebook for finances and break down your total expenses for the month. First start with the necessities like rent, transportation expenses, utilities etc. things in the necessities bracket are things you need to survive. Then add the total average you make per month after taxes and stuff. For ex, I get paid weekly, one week I make $700 and the following week I only make $600 since there was no overtime. With paychecks that are not salary use the lower paycheck as your base for your finances. So the amount made in the month would be $2400. Subtract all the necessary costs from the $2400 and see what you have left over after. For ex after all the necessary expenses I’m left with $1000. That’s when you start separating the savings and the free spending money from what’s left over. It’s what works for me so I hope this information helps you. And if you work overtime the entire month and make more then expected then you can split those funds into savings and free spending. Stay strict to your budget. Like the grocery budget I give myself $50 a week, unless I don’t go to the grocery store at all for 2 weeks I don’t spend the whole $50. But when I do the grocery bill I calculate the cost of food, hygiene products and cleaning supplies since I’m getting them all from the same place. Another thing I do is look at the costs of the particular item I’m getting and the gas prices near me. For gas stations there’s literally 10 of them no more then 7 mins away. I go to the cheapest one and have a rewards account with them so I can use those points for later fuel discounts. I hope this helps your journey and definitely take guidance from other resources to help find what’s best for you.
I know it's been 3 months and you probably won't see this, but there's a book called The Richest Man in Babylon and it is LITERALLY MEANT to teach people how to manage their money, but it's in the form of easy to digest short stories. Its really short, and it only Cody me $15 at B&N. It took me from being good with money, to being amazing with money. And I am sure it could do the same for you. To give a ballpark, I save 10% of my earnings per paycheck, I barely feel it in my day to day, except when I have an emergency, and then I have a perfect oh shit fund. Best $15 I have ever spent, the advice has kept me out of financial ruin so many times.
@@Crazymazylazytazyfazy and weather they live in a van or not it’s not your business it’s theirs. Your not the parent so get a life and stop commenting on how other people raise their kids and or where they live.
not everybody has that money to spend on hygiene products. Just because she had 100 dollars to spend on each of her kids just for hygiene doesn't necesairly make her a good parent.
I’m so glad that there is a mother out there who understands children need hygiene products, and that they should have the freedom to choose which ones, but still within a budget. My mom needs to realize this.
That's a fantastic way to do it, especially with teen daughters. They don't want to have to ask a parent for their fem hygiene products so this is a great choice on your part
Why do you guys see parents trying to teach life skills and automatically assume the worst😭😭. Like I’m sure the parents pick up extra toothpaste/deodorant/period products for the kids when they need them. And I’m sure the parents buy those random items that just randomly come up that the kids will probably only need once (hair spray, etc) or super expensive products (electric toothbrush, etc). A good parent isn’t just going to say tough luck bleed through your pants/use a rusty razor. And if a parent is going out of their way to teach budgeting, I’d assume they’re at least halfway decent.
I mention it as a possibility to look out on this b/c I had “good parents” who meant well but messed this up and put so much pressure on me to be “proud at how good I was at budgeting” that at 13-14 I’d cry every time I ran out of shampoo b/c I knew I’d have to steal dish soap from the kitchen to wash my hair and I felt like a garbage person for it being able to budget better. It’s very easy to mess this up b/c your asking a child to budget for essentials and then your going on social media to show the world that it’s great and they are so responsible for being able to do it. So the pressure is on the kids to be able to pull this off. Most parents are just trying their best to do a good job - I just want them to hear the perspective of how much stress they could be putting on their kids.
Actually some people were just concerned if their daughter receives the same amount and not extra for menstrual products that she might need. Literally no one assumes this to be the worst thing in the world a lot of people are actually supportive of this idea but they just had concerns.
@@anemic-peachless I know right well it is a bit better for me because my parents are divorced so I get to share it with just 1 person at mum's and 2 people at dads if my siblings don't visit
This is actually so great in so many ways. Another added benefit is actually getting to decide on a scent you LIKE or WANT to smell like, whether that's deodorant, soap, conditioner, shampoo... or the types of products that actually nourish your skin or feel good to use, and don't dry it out or burn. I wish I could have done this.
I know! I didn't get to choose my own hygiene products till I started buying them with my own money which did not go over well with some people. I spent years using products that damaged my hair, and I really didn't like. A lot of parents with buying hygiene stuff go with the "Parents Know Best" line of thinking and get whatever they want the children to use but that's often not what's actually best (unintentional mostly but its the consequences). It's hard to describe sometimes what a product feels like and what's it doing to you or why you don't like it and you're also a child so "you're making it up" or "you don't know what you're talking about". It's not healthy
I dunno... i went with my mother an choose what i preferred (within limits) and if not she would take into account my preferences? And talking about products that did harm were and absolute no!
We had organic salt tooth paste because my mother had neurodermatitis and we all had to suffer with her… Same with the exotic smell fa products I wanted to use for deodorant or shower gel, or the organic, no conditioner shampoo all the family used, all 3 others having short hair, 2 of them being men. I, with shoulder long hair had no conditioner until I moved out…my wavy hair was a mess all throughout living with my parents, and I could never grow out my hair because the hairdressers always cut off so much ‚dry ends‘
My mom always let me pick out what products I wanted because I am very sensitive to certain smells and I have extremely sensitive skin. She taught me what ingredients to stay away from and what brands were the safest for me too, so she did narrow down my options but only so I’d pick something safe for my skin
I make my own soap for me and my cousin. We find that it is helpful because a lot of soaps are not skin safe and ones that are are more expensive. I buy glycerin soap and melt it into fancy bars (I made a bubble tea bar once). Because glycerin soap is skin safe, I just need to worry about my pigments and scents. So I use Mica powder and fragrance oil and it's all fine.
@@satan9487 thats cool. But thats you. I didnt get to pick what shampoo i used or what toothpaste i used. Just because you got to choose, doesnt mean we all did.
@@Lucario9d bro you are the type of people to say “ Why do u comment a paragraph about how you don’t agree with people in the comments don’t you have anything better to do” but you also want me to explain like make it make sense I do have better things to do
Yes! This is far better than just doing allowances or chores where the kid blows it all on toys. All children need to learn how to budget and prioritize things while still learning how to find things to enjoy in life. This is wonderful!
rare footage of parents being good parents edit: didn’t know this would make yall so pressed. n i really don’t grasp the reason on to why you’re so interested in this random family’s life whom yk nothing ab j leave them b and stop arguing over random hoes yall wastin ur energy fr 😂😂
Except for the whole exploiting your children for views; should be a crime to include them in videos and that’ll probably be the case in a decade when they can all speak out against it.
@@anakatsukifangirl2944it should be tho when u consider the fact they probably get weird messages from people and people might save the video in a weird way I remember this on girl from a family Channel talking about that
this is actually such a good idea, as long as you have no concerns over finances. it teaches the kiddos to manage their money *with* your support, so if they need help, they have it right there.
So cool! I come from a divorced household and sometimes those things were forgotten by one parent or expected to travel between houses. Very annoying lol
Thank you for sharing this. We co-parent our kids and I'm always trying to be mindful of the egregious parts of separation and what things we can mind to help reduce stress
Yea, that's when I learned this lesson the hard way. Would have been nicer if I had to learn it earlier and w/ the safety net available. Took ages for me to get a good handle on how much hygiene products cost total separated out from regular food / grocery budget.
I love this. My son is on the spectrum. When he was about 12, his therapist suggested we do this with food. We gave an amount of money for him to budget for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. He had to buy his own food for those. We provided family dinner, milk and condiments, etc. It was so good, we did this for our daughter, also. And we expanded it to clothing. We'd buy coats, boots, shoes and they had to buy everything else. This was money we were spending anyway, but now they were learning how to budget, to spend responsibly, and gaining confidence in making decisions. I had to let them fail a few times, but it helped them learn and helped us to let them grow.
My parents did this with clothing in my early teens - twice a year (at the start of summer and winter), they would give me money for clothing, and not buy me clothes otherwise… I was able to choose if I wanna buy just one or two expensive things, or more, cheaper items. I was also allowed to spend it all at once or save it to spend throughout the season, they left that up to me. Im currently in my late twenties and about to buy my second home (this time with my partner), and I attribute a lot of my financial savviness to how I was raised. This wasn’t the only way my parents educated me about money - another rule of theirs when I was young was that they wouldn’t buy me big gifts really (like, expensive things I mean, mp3 player comes to mind or my sewing machine), but if I saved up my small weekly allowance long enough to cover half the cost, they would reward me by paying the difference. Even though they were well off they didn’t wanna just hand me things. This taught me self discipline and patience, which I’ve found to be super critical to my financial success now. Its easier for me to kinda just not spend on wants when I need to save for something big I need to pay for, and I don’t have a credit card cos I prefer saving to borrowing. I also learned to plan out spending on a fixed budget and find ways to cut expenses (e.g. making my own clothes in high school so I could stretch my clothing budget).
I love 💛 this idea it teaches your children not only how to budget but how to shop for their own personal hygiene 🪥🧴🧼💄 products and allows them to buy items that they not only like but is in budget 🌼 wish my parents would have done this for us growing up 🌼💛🌼
@@cayde-69 I would have to disagree many people use cosmetics daily as part of their morning 🌞 routine when getting ready and they find it equality as important as lotion and showering and just because two people have different hygiene routines don’t make one correct and the other incorrect it only means we are two individuals who have different want’s or need’s 🫶🏼
This is brilliant. You’re teaching them how much things cost and how to budget…. and that these items don’t magically appear by a fairy coming into their bathroom 😂
True, there are reasonable expectations of contribution to the household. But if your child wants a chance to earn money and learn how to save, spend, and budget smartly, it's worth letting them have an opportunity to earn something. My parents had us do chores, but if we asked for a chance to earn money they gave us something less menial like yard work or cleaning the whole cellar or anything else that was more time consuming and not done on a regular basis. They opened us savings accounts and we had to decide how much we would spend and how much would go into savings. We learned a lot that way before we were old enough to get part time jobs
My parents started giving me allowance (either 8th grade or high school? I don't remember exactly) so that I didn't have to ask every time I wanted to go somewhere, but it was $10 a week and not related to chores. A lot of the time allowance got forgotten, but I had to do chores anyways since that was just part of being in the household. As a really little kid though (like first grade) I got a dollar every time I filled up a chore chart. It was so that mom didn't have to remind us all the time. It was (if I remember correctly) ~25 chores for a dollar at first, and later 5 chores for a dollar. As we got older we were just expected to contribute
@@Paputsza Its every 3 months they get 150, so 50$ a month which seems true for say: shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash, pads/tampons, moisturizer/toner/acne cream/etc skin care, makeup. kids might pick up fun bath balms or new brushes. its a luxury ofc but if theyre a family thats comfortable then 50$ a month could be pretty easy to reach.
Man my husband and I probably spend $50 or less on hygiene in a three month period and that includes feminine products, hair and body care, make up, perfumes, toothpaste all that stuff. And we use a lot of natural, limited ingredients, and locally sourced type stuff. I can't imagine how much excess make up or lotions and junk there would be if I spent that much.
@ashleyp5784 I'm not sure how I would calculate our usage but face moisturizer used day/night lasts somewhere between 3-6 months and is around ~25$. Shampoos are usually 15-20 bucks and last similar lengths. (I also have to use all the no-scent sensitive skin etc and can't use extras like perfume/makeup) but I'm sure between two grown adults we could get close to $100 every 3 months easily. "Cost of Living" might also be part of this disconnect. I live in a HIGH cost of living area so... standard goods are pricey) Everything is only getting more expensive especially 😮💨 And remember the goal is the kid has good reason to spend LESS than 150 on hygiene then the kid can spend that on whatever they want. So they could pocket 50$ to get a toy/game/merch/etc.
@@brigade7678 Things are getting more expensive, I can agree with you on that. I do make some things at home and always watch for a good deal so I am sure that helps. I hope those kids do have left over. That amount of money just sounded like so much.

This is amazing. I was sheltered and not allowed to touch money-not even my own money that I made-until I was 18. I'm now 19 and still barely know how to handle money on my own and am in a rush to learn how to do EVERYTHING on my own, I wish more people utilized their childs years to teach instead of control. Those kids are gonna be so well off, thanks to you!
Oh man. This would have made the world to me as a kid. Not even talking about the money - I wished so hard that I could have some ability to pick out my own things, some slight control or choice in some of the things that I would be using/wearing/needing. My mom gets tons of credit, though, don't get me wrong... like, she would get me the coolest and most fun school supplies; she just knew which ones we'd find some fun with or want to show off. 😂 That was really awesome, and remains a meaningful memory in adulthood. All of those cute erasers, pens & highlighters in every imaginable colour & the best trapper-keeper colours...
It reminds me of parents bringing their kids into stores and comparing unit prices to find the best amount per price item, or figuring out taxes for special snacks. Hands on, real-life examples of using math
This is a brilliant way of teaching this. When I was younger, I didn’t really get taught. The closest was really that I didn’t get any pocket money, or chores money, so I would just make birthday money last the year. It was helpful, but this is great. If I ever have kids I will definitely use methods like this to teach them about money.
That is so clever!!!! So many kids don't realize how much things cost or how difficult it can be to make the money, kudos to the parents for this!!! It also gets them excited to stay clean, I used to struggle with hygiene because the soap I was using would make my skin itchy and the toothpaste I was using made me feel nauseous, now that I buy/pick out a handful of my products, staying clean and healthy is a lot easier!! I'm so happy that you are including your children in learning about the products and teaching them a few very resourceful life skills, now the real world won't be as shocking!!
This is such a great lesson! This is what schools should teach too, imo. I've only learned this when I started living on my own... the hard way lol although a quick leaner; I would've saved time and money learning this sooner I feel. It's the budgeting I was focusing on; I honestly thought things were gonna be easy and it was to some extent, but I did have a rather 'fun' leisure time, going out and doing things I wanted to do, not what I needed. Scratch that, it's discipline that I meant to highlight 😂
I love this idea. I only have a toddler right now but we’re going to start having her help with regular grocery shopping to get her started. She’s going to learn how to get stuff on the list and put it in the shopping cart and we’ll probably count the cost with her too.
You could also let them pick their own snacks for the week and have them look at the price tags on the shelf as long as they know the first few numbers. Just tell them they have to pick a number that starts with a 1 or 2 or three and go from there
If this works for her than that is awesome. Remember that what worsk for you, may not work for everyone else. As long as you are raising your kids with the best intentions and with lots of love, your kids will turn out fine.
Yes I don't get why people getting soo exited about it. They are kids and kids should be kids they getting so much products way to much for kids. It is just ridiculous. You can tech your kids about budget in many different ways. This is wasting money and products
@@joannat2683 no it's not. She's made it extremely clear that if she sees the kids buying products they don't use or sees them not buying products to save money, they lose their budget and she buys them the necessities until they prove they're responsible enough. If they have the money to spoil their kids a little and they choose to let them do it in the form of self care items, there is nothing wrong with it. You sound jealous of 11 an year old
She is a horrible mother btw. This is the only things she’s done right.

If they aren’t perfect children for her videos she publicly shames them
This is the absolute best idea. I only realised at 20 YEARS OF Age how much toiletries ACTUALLY cost. It is ridiculous that I never got to understand what products work best for me and not just whatever mom picked up at the store. That's some good parenting.
I really love this idea. It gives them more independence and freedom to explore what works for them. Very cool! We didn't have that growing up we all (my sister, myself and grandmother shared the same shampoo, soap, razors, etc. (Yeah. I know the Razor part is gross). As an adult getting to buy whatever I want for myself is great but it took awhile to figure out what products were right for my curly hair when everyone else had pinstraight hair.
Same! And honestly, i have never complained. Everyone needs to learn what their job is in the house. I remember that my job when i was a teen was just taking care of 4 pets (cleaning, feeding, grooming..), some Basic grocery shopping, cleaning my room, and everything else my parents told me. And honestly, I'm thankful that they didn't pay me. Kids need to know that something NEEDS to be done, wherever you like it or not
This should be a lesson in every grade in school. We don't need more language lessons or others. We need to educate our children to become independent adults.

My mum thought giving allowance money would make me spoiled and needy for money more .hence I never got money for anything
This is really smart because it teaches kids from an early age to make decisions that are based in logic and reason, they learn to prioritise whats important not just what they want, they learn money management, and have agency in their lives in what feels like a small area but means a lot in the long run. My brother is expecting a child soon maybe I'll show him this.

Tbf, she did say it's money they would've used on hygiene anyway, so other parents could technically do this. It's just a matter of setting aside the money to give to the child to decide how to spend, rather than buying the items yourself
Literally had to clean the whole kitchen, two bathrooms , living room and my own room for free + cleaning in depth the walls and windows. I see no money 😢
This is a great way to teach kids of how to value and put money to good use, especially considering how some spoiled kids take money for granted and use it on whatever they want! Great example of teaching ❤
This is the most crucial thing that most often gets missed. Teaching your young kids responsibility and money management so much ppl hating on them and I see nothing but an amazing strategy I wish my mom would've done with me.

My question is.. you're letting teenagers decide how much money to spend on hygiene, and whatever is left they get to spend however they want to? Stinky, sticky, sweaty teenagers?

It isn't too late to learn! It's more challenging when you're young and your income might vary from month to month (or week to week) but sit down and make a list of all of your absolute necessity BILLS... rent, phone, internet, etc. as you'll need to prioritize paying these things first. Then look at how much you'll be bringing each week or two, depending on when you get paid (or every month if you're unfortunately paid once per month) and figure out the due dates for each necessity bill and decide which check you'll need to cover that bill with. If rent is due on the 1st, you'll probably want to cover rent with the check prior (or two checks or whatever, however it works out). Then, with what you have leftover (if any) and the money from the next check, you'll pay the rest of the bills you didn't pay in the first half of the month. If the due date of a bill falls at a time when you don't have the money every month because you're waiting on the next check, call the company and ask for your due date to be changed. Most companies will do this for you. Once all of your necessity bills are covered, you'll know how much you have leftover for spending. If you have a bill, like electric, that can fluctuate, figure out roughly how much it is on average and budget that amount monthly to make your budgeting easier. On the months when it's lower than your budgeted amount, tuck the unused budgeted amount into a savings account that has no minimum balance. Seriously, DO IT. Then, on the months when the bill goes above your budgeted amount, you've got a safety net to pull from for that bill. I do this for my electric. I budget $100 monthly but it's around $60 for a lot of the year but then can really get up there during the summer months so every October I start fresh with an empty account and start filling it up again. If there is anything leftover after Summer, I either give myself a payday of something fun, put it in my retirement account, replace something that has worn out around the house. For gas in your car, consider putting a monthly gas allowance on a giftcard or a seperate account. If you go over, pull from your fun spending money and if you don't use it all, roll it over to the next month... and if it builds up, either give yourself a free month to take your gas budget money and do something fun with it OR put it in your retirement savings. I do this (sort of) with groceries. I give myself a $300 budget each month in a separate no minimum balance free checking account. Sort of like food stamps allowance, if I go over, I don't let myself dip into my spending money. I live within my $300 budget (which is a generous budget for me). You'll learn to look for good sales, coupons, etc. to help stretch your budget. :)
@@CarFreeKCthis is genuinely such a well thought out and amazing comment and i want to thank you as another 19 yr old with no money knowledge lol
Bro I'm literally so happy that your kids are getting to learn how to manage finances because as an adult who recently moved out of my parents house I am STRUGGLING. I suck at managing finances and never learnt how to save or efficiently utilize money or manage my costs. Its literally trial and error ATP and I run broke every month and its frustrating and stressful as hell.
Parents really need to trust their kids more and realise that unless taught, kids are going to have a hard time learning.
Try saving half of your income then use your other half
Or when you pay the bills, save the estimate of your bills so you can pay it later
One thing that has helped me budget since I was a teen is to pick a notebook for finances and break down your total expenses for the month. First start with the necessities like rent, transportation expenses, utilities etc. things in the necessities bracket are things you need to survive. Then add the total average you make per month after taxes and stuff. For ex, I get paid weekly, one week I make $700 and the following week I only make $600 since there was no overtime. With paychecks that are not salary use the lower paycheck as your base for your finances. So the amount made in the month would be $2400. Subtract all the necessary costs from the $2400 and see what you have left over after. For ex after all the necessary expenses I’m left with $1000. That’s when you start separating the savings and the free spending money from what’s left over. It’s what works for me so I hope this information helps you. And if you work overtime the entire month and make more then expected then you can split those funds into savings and free spending. Stay strict to your budget. Like the grocery budget I give myself $50 a week, unless I don’t go to the grocery store at all for 2 weeks I don’t spend the whole $50. But when I do the grocery bill I calculate the cost of food, hygiene products and cleaning supplies since I’m getting them all from the same place. Another thing I do is look at the costs of the particular item I’m getting and the gas prices near me. For gas stations there’s literally 10 of them no more then 7 mins away. I go to the cheapest one and have a rewards account with them so I can use those points for later fuel discounts. I hope this helps your journey and definitely take guidance from other resources to help find what’s best for you.
@@paigenelson7351 That's actually super helpful- Thanks!
I know it's been 3 months and you probably won't see this, but there's a book called The Richest Man in Babylon and it is LITERALLY MEANT to teach people how to manage their money, but it's in the form of easy to digest short stories. Its really short, and it only Cody me $15 at B&N. It took me from being good with money, to being amazing with money. And I am sure it could do the same for you. To give a ballpark, I save 10% of my earnings per paycheck, I barely feel it in my day to day, except when I have an emergency, and then I have a perfect oh shit fund. Best $15 I have ever spent, the advice has kept me out of financial ruin so many times.

not everybody has that money to spend on hygiene products. Just because she had 100 dollars to spend on each of her kids just for hygiene doesn't necesairly make her a good parent.
I’m so glad that there is a mother out there who understands children need hygiene products, and that they should have the freedom to choose which ones, but still within a budget. My mom needs to realize this.
That's a fantastic way to do it, especially with teen daughters. They don't want to have to ask a parent for their fem hygiene products so this is a great choice on your part
Honestly teaching children to budget early is so valuable
Why do you guys see parents trying to teach life skills and automatically assume the worst😭😭. Like I’m sure the parents pick up extra toothpaste/deodorant/period products for the kids when they need them. And I’m sure the parents buy those random items that just randomly come up that the kids will probably only need once (hair spray, etc) or super expensive products (electric toothbrush, etc). A good parent isn’t just going to say tough luck bleed through your pants/use a rusty razor. And if a parent is going out of their way to teach budgeting, I’d assume they’re at least halfway decent.
Literally nobody saw this and assumed the worst
@@Unknown-hw5hv this video was made in response to people assuming the worst
@@Unknown-hw5hv a lot of people did actually
I mention it as a possibility to look out on this b/c I had “good parents” who meant well but messed this up and put so much pressure on me to be “proud at how good I was at budgeting” that at 13-14 I’d cry every time I ran out of shampoo b/c I knew I’d have to steal dish soap from the kitchen to wash my hair and I felt like a garbage person for it being able to budget better. It’s very easy to mess this up b/c your asking a child to budget for essentials and then your going on social media to show the world that it’s great and they are so responsible for being able to do it. So the pressure is on the kids to be able to pull this off. Most parents are just trying their best to do a good job - I just want them to hear the perspective of how much stress they could be putting on their kids.
Actually some people were just concerned if their daughter receives the same amount and not extra for menstrual products that she might need.
Literally no one assumes this to be the worst thing in the world a lot of people are actually supportive of this idea but they just had concerns.

This is actually so great in so many ways. Another added benefit is actually getting to decide on a scent you LIKE or WANT to smell like, whether that's deodorant, soap, conditioner, shampoo... or the types of products that actually nourish your skin or feel good to use, and don't dry it out or burn. I wish I could have done this.
I know! I didn't get to choose my own hygiene products till I started buying them with my own money which did not go over well with some people. I spent years using products that damaged my hair, and I really didn't like. A lot of parents with buying hygiene stuff go with the "Parents Know Best" line of thinking and get whatever they want the children to use but that's often not what's actually best (unintentional mostly but its the consequences). It's hard to describe sometimes what a product feels like and what's it doing to you or why you don't like it and you're also a child so "you're making it up" or "you don't know what you're talking about". It's not healthy
I dunno... i went with my mother an choose what i preferred (within limits) and if not she would take into account my preferences? And talking about products that did harm were and absolute no!
Exactly
We had organic salt tooth paste because my mother had neurodermatitis and we all had to suffer with her…
Same with the exotic smell fa products I wanted to use for deodorant or shower gel, or the organic, no conditioner shampoo all the family used, all 3 others having short hair, 2 of them being men.
I, with shoulder long hair had no conditioner until I moved out…my wavy hair was a mess all throughout living with my parents, and I could never grow out my hair because the hairdressers always cut off so much ‚dry ends‘
My mom always let me pick out what products I wanted because I am very sensitive to certain smells and I have extremely sensitive skin. She taught me what ingredients to stay away from and what brands were the safest for me too, so she did narrow down my options but only so I’d pick something safe for my skin
I really like this idea!! I hated not being able to pick out my own soap and stuff!
Thats a moot point. I could pick my own stuff as a kid/teen and my mum would pay on the counter.
I make my own soap for me and my cousin. We find that it is helpful because a lot of soaps are not skin safe and ones that are are more expensive. I buy glycerin soap and melt it into fancy bars (I made a bubble tea bar once). Because glycerin soap is skin safe, I just need to worry about my pigments and scents. So I use Mica powder and fragrance oil and it's all fine.

honestly wish i had this as a kid. i’m about to head off to college and i’m still struggling with budgeting 😅
Yea, that's when I learned this lesson the hard way. Would have been nicer if I had to learn it earlier and w/ the safety net available. Took ages for me to get a good handle on how much hygiene products cost total separated out from regular food / grocery budget.
Nice to know that our parents provided us with absolutely nothing when we grew up.
I love this. My son is on the spectrum. When he was about 12, his therapist suggested we do this with food. We gave an amount of money for him to budget for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. He had to buy his own food for those. We provided family dinner, milk and condiments, etc. It was so good, we did this for our daughter, also. And we expanded it to clothing. We'd buy coats, boots, shoes and they had to buy everything else. This was money we were spending anyway, but now they were learning how to budget, to spend responsibly, and gaining confidence in making decisions. I had to let them fail a few times, but it helped them learn and helped us to let them grow.
Damn, that’s a really smart way to teach your kid young. Not everyone is lucky like that
It also teaches autonomy over their finances. This is truly a gift to your children: knowledge, autonomy, and proper hygiene.
My parents did this with clothing in my early teens - twice a year (at the start of summer and winter), they would give me money for clothing, and not buy me clothes otherwise… I was able to choose if I wanna buy just one or two expensive things, or more, cheaper items. I was also allowed to spend it all at once or save it to spend throughout the season, they left that up to me. Im currently in my late twenties and about to buy my second home (this time with my partner), and I attribute a lot of my financial savviness to how I was raised. This wasn’t the only way my parents educated me about money - another rule of theirs when I was young was that they wouldn’t buy me big gifts really (like, expensive things I mean, mp3 player comes to mind or my sewing machine), but if I saved up my small weekly allowance long enough to cover half the cost, they would reward me by paying the difference. Even though they were well off they didn’t wanna just hand me things. This taught me self discipline and patience, which I’ve found to be super critical to my financial success now. Its easier for me to kinda just not spend on wants when I need to save for something big I need to pay for, and I don’t have a credit card cos I prefer saving to borrowing. I also learned to plan out spending on a fixed budget and find ways to cut expenses (e.g. making my own clothes in high school so I could stretch my clothing budget).

Too relatable
True, there are reasonable expectations of contribution to the household. But if your child wants a chance to earn money and learn how to save, spend, and budget smartly, it's worth letting them have an opportunity to earn something.
My parents had us do chores, but if we asked for a chance to earn money they gave us something less menial like yard work or cleaning the whole cellar or anything else that was more time consuming and not done on a regular basis. They opened us savings accounts and we had to decide how much we would spend and how much would go into savings. We learned a lot that way before we were old enough to get part time jobs
Well they're not wrong lol You could try offering to do extra chores for an allowance.
Dame ,I can relate so much
My parents started giving me allowance (either 8th grade or high school? I don't remember exactly) so that I didn't have to ask every time I wanted to go somewhere, but it was $10 a week and not related to chores. A lot of the time allowance got forgotten, but I had to do chores anyways since that was just part of being in the household. As a really little kid though (like first grade) I got a dollar every time I filled up a chore chart. It was so that mom didn't have to remind us all the time. It was (if I remember correctly) ~25 chores for a dollar at first, and later 5 chores for a dollar. As we got older we were just expected to contribute

right. I don't even spend $150 a month on heigeine and I'm an adult
@@Paputsza Its every 3 months they get 150, so 50$ a month which seems true for say:
shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash, pads/tampons, moisturizer/toner/acne cream/etc skin care, makeup. kids might pick up fun bath balms or new brushes.
its a luxury ofc but if theyre a family thats comfortable then 50$ a month could be pretty easy to reach.
Man my husband and I probably spend $50 or less on hygiene in a three month period and that includes feminine products, hair and body care, make up, perfumes, toothpaste all that stuff. And we use a lot of natural, limited ingredients, and locally sourced type stuff. I can't imagine how much excess make up or lotions and junk there would be if I spent that much.
@ashleyp5784 I'm not sure how I would calculate our usage but face moisturizer used day/night lasts somewhere between 3-6 months and is around ~25$. Shampoos are usually 15-20 bucks and last similar lengths. (I also have to use all the no-scent sensitive skin etc and can't use extras like perfume/makeup) but I'm sure between two grown adults we could get close to $100 every 3 months easily. "Cost of Living" might also be part of this disconnect. I live in a HIGH cost of living area so... standard goods are pricey) Everything is only getting more expensive especially 😮💨
And remember the goal is the kid has good reason to spend LESS than 150 on hygiene then the kid can spend that on whatever they want. So they could pocket 50$ to get a toy/game/merch/etc.
@@brigade7678 Things are getting more expensive, I can agree with you on that. I do make some things at home and always watch for a good deal so I am sure that helps. I hope those kids do have left over. That amount of money just sounded like so much.
A great idea. I wish more parents would teach their kids how money works. Great parents!!❤
She is a horrible mother btw. This is the only things she’s done right. She forces her kids to sleep on shelves in an rv, they can’t have friends because of the forced life style, she publicly humiliated them on RUclips for mistakes and private situations and her children have even posted on Reddit that all the want for their birthday is a hotel so they can have a comfortable bed to sleep on away from their parents
“Hey mom I ran out of toothpaste”
*”YOU ALREADY SPENT YOUR BUDGET”*
I don’t have children but when I do I will definitely be implementing this
This is amazing. I was sheltered and not allowed to touch money-not even my own money that I made-until I was 18. I'm now 19 and still barely know how to handle money on my own and am in a rush to learn how to do EVERYTHING on my own, I wish more people utilized their childs years to teach instead of control. Those kids are gonna be so well off, thanks to you!
Oh man. This would have made the world to me as a kid. Not even talking about the money - I wished so hard that I could have some ability to pick out my own things, some slight control or choice in some of the things that I would be using/wearing/needing.
My mom gets tons of credit, though, don't get me wrong... like, she would get me the coolest and most fun school supplies; she just knew which ones we'd find some fun with or want to show off. 😂 That was really awesome, and remains a meaningful memory in adulthood. All of those cute erasers, pens & highlighters in every imaginable colour & the best trapper-keeper colours...
This is actually so smart, not making them pay but still teaching money skills
It reminds me of parents bringing their kids into stores and comparing unit prices to find the best amount per price item, or figuring out taxes for special snacks. Hands on, real-life examples of using math
This is a brilliant way of teaching this. When I was younger, I didn’t really get taught. The closest was really that I didn’t get any pocket money, or chores money, so I would just make birthday money last the year. It was helpful, but this is great. If I ever have kids I will definitely use methods like this to teach them about money.
Blur 👍
I think this is actually so great for parents to do with their kids
My mother did the same thing and now I know how to work with a budget. I think it's the best way to teach your kids how much life costs!
That is so clever!!!! So many kids don't realize how much things cost or how difficult it can be to make the money, kudos to the parents for this!!! It also gets them excited to stay clean, I used to struggle with hygiene because the soap I was using would make my skin itchy and the toothpaste I was using made me feel nauseous, now that I buy/pick out a handful of my products, staying clean and healthy is a lot easier!! I'm so happy that you are including your children in learning about the products and teaching them a few very resourceful life skills, now the real world won't be as shocking!!
This is so cool. I'm trying to teach my 11 and 9 year olds about budget and household finances. I'm absolutely going to do something like this.
This is such a great lesson! This is what schools should teach too, imo. I've only learned this when I started living on my own... the hard way lol although a quick leaner; I would've saved time and money learning this sooner I feel. It's the budgeting I was focusing on; I honestly thought things were gonna be easy and it was to some extent, but I did have a rather 'fun' leisure time, going out and doing things I wanted to do, not what I needed. Scratch that, it's discipline that I meant to highlight 😂
Dang that actually seems kinda fun and it’s also educational, that’s some good parenting.
Gurl your children be filthy rich compared to me 😭🤣
ONG
I'm an adult and I have less money to spend on myself than this child 🤣
this is going to make them very well equipped to handle their finances as adults. i love this
I love this idea. I only have a toddler right now but we’re going to start having her help with regular grocery shopping to get her started. She’s going to learn how to get stuff on the list and put it in the shopping cart and we’ll probably count the cost with her too.
You could also let them pick their own snacks for the week and have them look at the price tags on the shelf as long as they know the first few numbers. Just tell them they have to pick a number that starts with a 1 or 2 or three and go from there
@@BoyMom115 I like it!
If this works for her than that is awesome. Remember that what worsk for you, may not work for everyone else. As long as you are raising your kids with the best intentions and with lots of love, your kids will turn out fine.
Them: Has a cart with like 50 hygiene items
Also them: We’re teaching them how to budget.
Yes I don't get why people getting soo exited about it. They are kids and kids should be kids they getting so much products way to much for kids. It is just ridiculous. You can tech your kids about budget in many different ways. This is wasting money and products
What is wrong with it if they are using it?
@@joannat2683 no it's not. She's made it extremely clear that if she sees the kids buying products they don't use or sees them not buying products to save money, they lose their budget and she buys them the necessities until they prove they're responsible enough. If they have the money to spoil their kids a little and they choose to let them do it in the form of self care items, there is nothing wrong with it. You sound jealous of 11 an year old
Because they are. Just because they're not using $20 to teach them how to budget, doesn't mean it's not budgeting.
Those products are for three months, which is about 90 days.
This is actually brilliant because I think they appreciate and take better care of things and don’t waste
your rich is the first thing that comes to my mind
so good for her? damn ppl are jelaous
@@senexvester7003 word. the majority of wealthy americans don't get rich out of thin air i'm pretty sure lmao
Love that you are teaching them budgeting!
100 seems a lot, even for 3 months! Husband and I probably only spend that a year haha
•shampoo
•conditioner
•period products
•deodorant
•lotion
•toothpaste
It can add up pretty easily.
@@Dr_zevia facewash, moisturizer, maybe spf, and i guess she doesnt use razors yet,
What, omg how, that's so little for a year 😳
@@glisteningsorrows7237 it’s only for 3 months
@@Dr_zevia they said that they and their husband spend around that a year.
this is the epitome of wholesome american familes

It’s not wholesome at all, her children hate living with their family and can’t have friends. If they aren’t perfect children for her videos she publicly shames them
@@splitdragon3004 what???????
homelessness?
I wish my parents would of let me have a budget! This is awesome. I got what I got back then.
It has been a great learning experience for the kids.
"Make do and mend." A war era slogan that the children of today need to understand.
This is the absolute best idea. I only realised at 20 YEARS OF Age how much toiletries ACTUALLY cost. It is ridiculous that I never got to understand what products work best for me and not just whatever mom picked up at the store. That's some good parenting.
I really love this idea. It gives them more independence and freedom to explore what works for them. Very cool! We didn't have that growing up we all (my sister, myself and grandmother shared the same shampoo, soap, razors, etc. (Yeah. I know the Razor part is gross). As an adult getting to buy whatever I want for myself is great but it took awhile to figure out what products were right for my curly hair when everyone else had pinstraight hair.
Such an awesome idea!!! I’m sure your children feel good about being able to pick out their hygiene product and learning how to budget. 💜
I literally do chores everyday 😭 my Asian parents could never give me an allowance
Same girl 😭
Same! And honestly, i have never complained. Everyone needs to learn what their job is in the house. I remember that my job when i was a teen was just taking care of 4 pets (cleaning, feeding, grooming..), some Basic grocery shopping, cleaning my room, and everything else my parents told me. And honestly, I'm thankful that they didn't pay me. Kids need to know that something NEEDS to be done, wherever you like it or not
This should be a lesson in every grade in school. We don't need more language lessons or others. We need to educate our children to become independent adults.
Every child should be taught this by their parents. Hopefully. These kids will take all of this into account and grow up to be productive adults!
I love this a lot. I imagine myself being this type of mom in the future
Second! I agree this is a good idea 👍
Hello!!
@@Familyofnomads hi!
@@Familyofnomads what age did u start giving them their hygiene budget?
i hope im financially able to do this when i have kids i love this sm
You're doing amazing. Your children are going to grow up being educated about managing their finance. Bless you and your family.
They literally live in an RV and get home schooled they ain't gonna learn fuck all
This is great parenting.
I wish my parents put that kinda effort into teaching me about the real world they literally taught me nothing about the real world and I’m 21
You could always ask? A lot of parents don't think to because nobody taught them, not because they don't care.
@@toohottohandle0_0 u can’t just make assumptions like that’s what I’m actually doing,I always asked them to help me even with getting a job they tell me “look in the phone book”
@@Braddah_Kenj That's why I said "a lot of parents", I know nothing about yours. It was a suggestion. Telling you to look in the phone book for a job doesn't show they're not making effort, it seems more like they're clueless and you should probably seek help elsewhere. Personally I don't know a single person who asked their parents for help finding a job anyway.
This is so practical! I love it!
It really is! Glad you like the idea
Imagine having an allowance 😂
What does that mean?
@@taminino732 it means people like myself don't get an allowance
Your parents didn't buy you soap, shampoo,or deodorant? This is the cost she said they would have spent anyway
@@hollywhite3034 The video mentions at the start that they get allowance money on the side. They also keep the money they dont spend on hygiene products for themselves.
I could never 😂😂😂
Thank you for this mom of the century award ❤
Hold on-
Why does the daughter only get $115 and the boy gets $100?
Period products cost WAYYY more than $15 every 3 months!
Maybe the daughter doesn't pay for that
Edit: autocorrect.
It’s based on their individual needs. Grace is 11 years old.
@@Familyofnomads ohhh okay got it, thanks for clarifying!
I think 115 is more than enough
They bouth shoud get $100 its unfair that girl gets more and if u say that period blah blah blah… I DO NOT CARE their mom will brobally buy period products for her!
As someone with ADHD that severely struggles to keep her finance in order; I’m jealous. I wish more parents did this. I wish my parents did this.
I’ll definitely do this when I have kids, thank you for sharing.
I just love this , I wish my mom had done this when I was a kid , it would have helped me Soo much . I took more than an year to learn to balance and use money on my own after moving out . My mum thought giving allowance money would make me spoiled and needy for money more .hence I never got money for anything
I like this idea. I will do it for my daughter in the future. She will learn budgeting better compared to other children.
i wish my parents do this. They kinda just expect me to save up until collage and just know how to spend my money-
until.. collage?
Maybe you could suggest it? They might not have thought of it.
This is really smart because it teaches kids from an early age to make decisions that are based in logic and reason, they learn to prioritise whats important not just what they want, they learn money management, and have agency in their lives in what feels like a small area but means a lot in the long run. My brother is expecting a child soon maybe I'll show him this.
$50 a month! Wow I don’t even spend that🤣
It probably goes fast though. At least for girls
Shampoo and conditioner and pads and razors and styling stuff. And after on makeup
Boys got it easy. They need deodorant if they remember 😂
You must smell
@@LolaRyck It's not like girls NEED makeup or conditioners and guys also need razors if they want to shave facial hair. If anything girls don't really need razors. Only change imo is the pads, tampons
@@LolaRyck everyone needs shampoo, conditioner, bodywash and toothpaste for basic hygiene if ur a boy, girl, non-binary or anyone else.
their kid is only like 11, she doesnt need makeup rn and boys also need razors for facial hair.
@@miyeons_last_braincell the boys are younger than 11. They wouldn’t need that stuff yet. But ya the will ( meaning razors)
I was kidding bc we always say it’s such a struggle to get boys clean.
We do this with our kids too, it's been a huge blessing and kids learning to budget
every Christmas my parents would just give us ~10 to spend at the dollar store to get as much as we could for eachother for presents
SAME. Lol
My mom used to do the same when we would go grocery shopping and I couldn't be more grateful ! I now know how to budget and my savings are looking great 👏
My mom did this for us when we were little, it’s actually wonderful and makes for great memories. 10/10 would recommend doing this 😂😂😂
Side note, the rainbow snoopy shirt is adorable.
Y’all I’m sure so many more parents would be like this if they had enough money 💀
Fr bro 💀
Tbf, she did say it's money they would've used on hygiene anyway, so other parents could technically do this. It's just a matter of setting aside the money to give to the child to decide how to spend, rather than buying the items yourself
Yaaay, sensible parents! ( Not like a parent that tells you to cry after an atrocious exam cause you ain't gonna make it )
I really like this idea! They seem to have fun with it.
" mom im on my period and i dont have money can i borrow some? "
" sit yo ass down, absolutely not "
They get money for doing chores?!?! 😮
Bro try being in a Mexican family 😂
Love y’all 💕
En España tampoco ahshhd
Literally had to clean the whole kitchen, two bathrooms , living room and my own room for free + cleaning in depth the walls and windows. I see no money 😢
This is a great way to teach kids of how to value and put money to good use, especially considering how some spoiled kids take money for granted and use it on whatever they want! Great example of teaching ❤
“Grace is our daughter and we give her 115$ per month”
imagine what the youngest is getting then bro (or oldest) 💀
*3 months
The oldest gets 200 a month I believe
Meanwhile my dad: I bought some 3 in 1 body wash, conditioner, and shampoo for us to use, this bottle should last us a few years.
Ur dirty....
