Tips for parents looking to teach their kids about summer savings

Summer is here and for many, that means entertaining the kids. Those fun activities can start adding up. Time off from school is a great time to start teaching kids of all ages the importance of managing their money.

Some ways you can do that include:

1. Food: Set a food budget and plan meals together.

2. Free Events: Grab the calendar and add all the free events, make it a game to see who can find the most the whole family can enjoy.

3. Groups: Look to your local community for groups to get together with, places like church, PTO or library.
