Saving Money - Tips - Don't Use Giving to Grandchildren as a Big Turn on

Last year I really got a charge out of buying my granddaugher some really great clothes. Some are classics...the black North Face down coat....black boots..and 12 wonder all of different colors (including strapless) in Size A32 bras from Target (which incidently sells the best brands of bras). But this is a good way to start savng and also a good place to teach lessons for life.

I have just reviewed records from my parents' lives and realize how they lived well but frugally.

There is a good Wall St Journal article about grandchildren and teaching economic facts.

So hear comes my big idea.

Use FACEBOOK. I also have access to their friends so could extend it beyond just my own grandchildren.
