Remember those great School House Rock! jingles from the 70’s that taught us about conjunctions, our Constitution, the American Revolution, how a bill gets passed into a law, etc.? Little ditties that were usually fun to sing along to (or we just couldn’t get the songs out of our heads) – but we learned so much without even realizing it. Thanks to YouTube, I discovered that School House Rock has lessons on money too! Here’s just one that offers some great advice in a fun way to help kids learn about and contribute to balancing a family budget. Enjoy!
