The first step in understanding where your money is going and if you have enough funds to help support other members of your family is to understand your financial plan. This includes a budget and a view of all your investments and other accounts like retirement and savings. As you review this plan, consider and rank what is most important to you-including financial support to family members-so you can prioritize your money allocations to match your values. While your kids are at home and financially dependent on you, take time to teach them about the importance of budgeting and saving. You can start by giving your kids an allowance and taking them through the exercise of saving some, giving some and spending the rest. This is also a great time to discuss needs versus wants so your kids can begin understanding how to prioritize the way to spend money.
