WHAT’S DIRTIER THAN A TOILET SEAT? YOUR HANDBAG!

As a mom of four, I will heartily admit that I’m a bit of a germaphobe. Handwashing, toothbrush disinfecting. And absolutely no shoes in the house. But apparently I should be more worried about my own purse, which might be dirtier than a toilet seat.
Yes, researchers at Initial Washroom Hygiene found that items we typically carry in our handbags, like lotion and mascara, for example, have more bacteria than a toilet seat. And the worst offenders: Leather bags. So hooray for your cheap knock-off!

I suppose it’s not surprising given what I tend to keep in my purse (dirty toys, diapers, toddler socks), but also where its been. That public restroom floor when there’s no hook? Bad news.

So what’s the lesson I’m taking from this awful news? Time to buy myself a hot new handbag! Or 12.

TEACH YOUR KIDS THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVING MONEY

By Mubiana Nakweti

It is never too late to teach kids the value of money but if they are taught at a younger age, they will benefit from it as they will know the worth of money and the hard work that goes into earning it. Here’s how to teach your kids money management

1. Talk openly

Strike a conversation about money by instilling in them good values and manners. Tell them how you worked hard when you were young, how you saved money for yourself and family. Teach them the difference between needs, wants and necessities and what to spend money on. Also be ready to answer a few questions that will be thrown onto you by your kids.

2. Motivate them to work harder

Create a system where your child is given a particular amount of money as reward after completing a task. Make it mandatory for them to save an amount of it in their piggy bank. After every few months, open the piggy bank and ask the child to count the money they have collected. They will be really happy to see the amount collected by them. If it’s a huge amount, you can also take your child to the bank and show him how money can be saved in the bank.

3. Set the example

Being a parent, you have to lead by example. Your kids tend to follow your footsteps. If you are a great money manager, they will also try to be the same. Pay bills on time, invest your money well and tell your kids how you are also planning for their future. This will make them realise that even they require planning and good money management for a better future.
