We absolutely love getting to watch our 7 yr-old son manage his own money! He looks for ways to earn more money and has had several opportunities to budget and spend his own money on various toys and games that he has been eyeing. His savings account is growing, and he is beginning to understand the value of a dollar. It’s been cool to see him pick out souvenirs and things he wants when we’re on vacation. He’s even saved money to buy presents for his siblings. His savings account has been cool because the bank just gave him $10 for bringing his report card in.

My 13 yr-old has been applying his new financial knowledge when we go grocery shopping or making purchases of any kind. It's been great seeing how he has applied his knowledge so quickly. For Christmas he said not to buy him things he doesn't need or want. He is more involved and attentive to the value of money and how to use it. These training lessons are so important to learn for all ages, but especially youth. These courses are not taught in schools. It’s shocking considering the importance of financial knowledge in life.

Coming at this program as an accountant (for over 20 years) I was very happy with the flow of the program and the resources it comes with. I think it is very simple and easy to follow. It has all the elements I would like in teaching my kids how to set up a budget and understanding how money needs to be saved and spent. I’ve used the program for almost 3 months with Eli and he shows that he understands more and more how his money needs to work. I think the program lends itself easily to fit how the parent wants to categorize savings. Also, I think it works well for kids as they get older and they may have more categories to save for. The time you need to spend using and teaching this to kids is not that much and can be tailored for each child.

Before I used Mr. Coutant's Finance for Kids program it was hard to keep track of my finances and budgeting. Now it is easy! I especially like that it is very organized and easy to use. It makes it easier to save money and to see how much money I have. I can put money towards different things in their own envelopes. The notebook saves time because I don't have to keep counting my money over and over again; I just look at my tracking sheet.

As I’ve gotten older (I'm now in my early 90s), I’ve found it more and more difficult to handle my finances. Creating a budget and tracking my expenses according to the Disciplined Financial Management approach has been incredibly helpful. I can’t believe the sense of freedom it’s given me!!
