                    [Summary] => 

Question: I have been married for more than a decade now. My husband owns a profitable business and is a good provider. I have never held money to handle the expenses at home. I just ask when I have to. For groceries, gasoline, shopping, etc. I use the credit card. I was thinking, what if I ask for an allowance from my husband? I want to learn how to budget and maybe I’ll only learn how to do this if I held some of our money. When I try to teach my children about budgeting their allowance I secretly cringe at the thought that I don’t even know how to do it.  – Tess via text

[Summary] =>

Question: “Hi, I am a single parent raising two young children. I want my children to be financially independent when they become adults. But won’t teaching them stuff about money too soon rub them off their childhood? Sometimes I fear that if I introduce money matters to them too soon they might think that money is the most important thing in the world. We are financially ok and I believe that money can’t buy you happiness. What do you think?  – Single Parent via email

Question: My husband purchased a VULl (Variable Universal Life Insurance). The value is P1,250,000 and he paid P1,000,000 as one time premium. I do not want to wait for more than two years but the penalty for early withdrawal is hefty. Please advise us on how we can reinvest the rest of the money should we decide to withdraw? – Guest via www.RaisingPinoyBoys.com website

A few friends have asked to me to write about job hunting and first job experiences of my son after I wrote about having my first college graduate (I'm A Proud Mother of a College Graduate!). It was actually an exciting experience not just for my son Martin but also for us his parents and even his younger brothers with whom he shared his looking-for-a-job adventures.

Question: I saw you on ANC talk about teaching kids about money. I’m considering educational software or online games like My Budget Planner for Kids, KidsSave and Planet Orange. Are these good ways to teach my sons about money management since they’re exposed to computers anyway? Thanks and God bless you. – from Rose Pis-an via text message
