With Money, the Three Gs Matter (part 2)

With Money, the Three Gs Matter (part 2)

Sprinkle Generosity

The second G is a foundational habit that we are hopefully building in ourselves—and that will grow kids into good stewards of their finances one day. It’s generosity.

Holding money with open hands puts it in its proper position of servant instead of master. And as parents, we can model the unexpected truth of how being generous can both bless others and keep us free us from being controlled by money.

(A caveat: Make sure your kids aren’t being generous to “buy” friends, though. Giving from the heart should bring a sense of joy and freedom, no strings attached!)
