Hi Scott, Today my 8-year-old son stole $40 from my 10-year-old daughter’s purse, and then shouted all his friends at the school canteen. I am not sure how to deal with this one correctly so that both of my kids learn a lesson.

Hi Scott, I have just finished a call with a friend who was telling about a money app for kids called ‘Spriggy’. As far as I can tell, it pays no interest, has a yearly joining fee, and only allows access by a custom, kid-friendly Visa card (decorated with a cute cartoon pig).

I saw the door of my study creep open, ever so slightly. I heard heavy breathing.

I looked at my bedside clock: 4:03 am. It was Monday night (actually, Tuesday morning), and I hadn’t slept a wink.

Do you want me to come to your school … and teach your kids about money? Well, if you’re a teacher, a parent or a principal, this may be the most important column of mine you’ve ever read.

There have been a couple of times in my career that I’ve come across a subculture. The first was right back when I began: people who would write to me about my … feet.

Let me tell you about how, a few years ago, I created a family Christmas tradition … … which has caused me nothing but stress, and given my kids 25 days of disappointment. It began one day in Aldi, as disappointment often does.
