We still do the ledgers much like I describe in this post. It's been working well for us. He tends not to record his purchases any more, which I suppose he should do, but I let him handle it how he wants to.

My son is almost 6 yrs old and I have started to teach him basic accounting as well. I made a simple format on Excel and printed out some pages and made an accounting notebook out of it. He records everything he earns and everything he spends and also balances (adds or subtracts) after each transaction.
I want to ask you about how your child/ren is doing with his accounting and if he uses the accounting skills when thinking about getting toys, candies, etc. Also, what changes did you make in your methods, if any?
Thanks in advance on your feedback.

Sincerely,
Manav

I can't tell you how many folks I know who can't budget their checkbook....unfortunately myself too.

So far Anna displayed very little interest in earning money and she doesn't really ask for anything except chocolate - I suspect that this girl gets everything before she even gets a chance to know that she wants it.
