Summer is just about here! It’s a great time to get your home ready to stay cool as the temperatures rise, as well as work on yard projects and other outdoor tasks. Here are some recommendations for summer prep:
Get a professional HVAC tune-up or follow the directions on your user’s manual to add oil and lubricate the fan.
Summer is a great season to model money values you want your kids to carry into adulthood. This may look like having open conversations about how you earn and spend money on family expenses, money challenges and successes you’ve experienced, or how to save for a big goal. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) offers a variety of free resources to help adults teach their kids about money.
Demonstrating how to stretch your money while having fun this summer demonstrates a variety of values to children such as saving, spending, prioritizing, giving, and thrift. The Twin Cities offers many free and engaging activities for families of all ages and stages. Check out this Family Fun Twin Cities Ultimate Guide to Summer and choose your own adventures.
