I felt the need to give an explanation on how my email subscriptions work, because I have had a lot of questions lately about them. Many of you have asked why the emails come so late in the day, because it doesn’t give you the opportunity to take advantage of time sensitive deals (day only).
I have to set one time for the email blast to go out per day. I have picked 7-9pm. It allows me to get all the days deals into everyone’s inbox “before bedtime”.
If you are interested in getting the latest information, I would recommend checking my website periodically throughout the day. That is the best way to get timely deals before the email blast late afternoon.
I hope this helps and I thank you all for your reading!
Teaching children about money. . .I have saved my lemonade canisters and labeled them for my kids, “Giving”, “Savings”, “Spending”. Anytime they get money for birthdays, tooth fairy, etc. we talk about putting some in giving, some in savings and the rest in spending. We do 10%, 10% and 80%. Then, they can use their spending money any way they want. The first goal of this is that they would get in a habit of giving their “first fruits” back to God. Also, we’re hoping they’ll use a lot of their money on something that breaks or doesn’t last and hopefully, they’ll learn a valuable lesson now instead of on their first big purchase as a young adult. It has also motivated them to find ways to make more money if they are saving up for something. We were motivated to do this, especially because my 1st grader was talking about economics at school(needs vs. wants, definitions like consumer, etc.) It made the lesson tangible and real-life for him as well as my 2nd grader and preschooler.
