Why would they budget for August when it\u2019s only February? Their world revolves around what\u2019s happening now, not what might happen in 12 weeks. But real life doesn\u2019t work in weekly pocket money cycles. Christmas is always in December, summer holidays in July\/August and back to school in September. <\/p><p>That\u2019s where the ultimate family money calendar comes in.

Treat this as the framework, and then you can fill in the details to make the calendar uniquely yours.<\/p><p>The main aim is to identify which months are expensive for your family and which are quieter. Then, to prepare for them. <\/p><p>Teaching kids to plan ahead is hard (as a mum of 3, trust me, I know!), but the goal here is to give them the tools to do just that. Be that through the conversations you\u2019re having together, or by using the hands-on features in the GoHenry smart money app.<\/p><h3 span class=\"sticker sticker_lightning\">Your month-by-month financial roadmap<\/h3><p>For most of us, there are predictable expenses throughout the year that will also affect kids.

For example, talk to your kids about when the family birthdays are and other celebrations like Mother\u2019s Day and Father\u2019s Day. <\/p><p>If they want to get ahead of the game, they can set up a savings goal in their GoHenry app. Set a budget for how much they want to spend on each present, and then set the target date for the goal (say, the week before the birthday). This way, they can actually see how much progress they\u2019re making and whether or not they\u2019ll have enough saved in time.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"u-grid u-grid--alignRight\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-4\/5@s\"><div class=\"binding\"><div class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><figure class=\"luna-card__figure u-bg--purple-normal luna-card__block\"><h4 class=\"fin-text-white has-padding-top-small\">March to April<\/h4><\/figure><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><p>The Easter holidays are coming up, and the weather is warming up.

Once you\u2019ve agreed on the amount, you can always set a spending limit in your GoHenry app to make sure they don\u2019t go over it.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"u-grid\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-4\/5@s\"><div class=\"binding\"><div class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><figure class=\"luna-card__figure u-bg--yellow-normal luna-card__block\"><h4 class=\"fin-text-white has-padding-top-small\">May to June<\/h4><\/figure><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><p>This early summer period is a perfect time to build a buffer before the summer holidays. Talk to your kids about how expensive the summer holidays can be with activities and days out. Encourage them to squirrel some money away in preparation, so that if they want an ice cream when they\u2019re out and about, they\u2019re confident they can afford it. <\/p><p>If they\u2019ve been saving since the start of the year, also talk to them about how much interest they\u2019ve earned. There are 2 ways to do this with GoHenry: you can either set up parent-paid interest, or if you have the Plus plan, your child can earn 3.20% AER on their savings. Show them in the app what a boost this has been to their savings so far.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"u-grid u-grid--alignRight\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-4\/5@s\"><div class=\"binding\"><div class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><figure class=\"luna-card__figure u-bg--sky-normal luna-card__block\"><h4 class=\"fin-text-white has-padding-top-small\">July to August<\/h4><\/figure><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><p>This is peak spending season.

The ultimate family money calendar is designed to show that budgeting isn\u2019t about saying \u201cno\u201d all the time. It\u2019s about being prepared for what\u2019s to come. <\/p><p>The calendar provides a framework to talk to your kids about money. You can also tailor these conversations depending on your kids\u2019 ages. <\/p><p>If you have younger children, simply making them aware that Christmas is coming and encouraging them to save is a great start. Once your kids are in their teens, you can always give them a little more responsibility \u2013 handing them a clothing budget for the year, for example, and letting them plan how to spread it across the months.<\/p><p>The main takeaway is to teach your kids to see the bigger picture, so they can make better day-to-day money decisions now and in the future.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"u-bg--background-secondary\"><div class=\"ukfin_sponsored_article_body has-padding-top-large sponsorpanel\"><article class=\"ukfin_sponsor luna-card luna-card--shadow no-margin-bottom\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><div class=\"u-grid u-grid--alignMiddle\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/4@s u-grid__col--orderLast@s text-center no-padding-bottom\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png\" alt=\"GoHenry logo\" style=\"width: 180px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png?fit=540 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-3\/4@s no-padding-bottom\"><div class=\"has-padding-top-small has-padding-bottom-small\"><p><strong class=\"text-xx-large u-italic\">GoHenry: where kids go to learn money<\/strong><\/p><p>Kids learn to earn, save, spend and invest with pocket money, custom savings goals, gifted money from family and friends, gamified lessons and more.
