Whatever reason is behind a move, it can take some time to adjust to both the idea of moving and the new liv ing space – especially for children who may seem disconnected from the decision. The following tips can make the transition a little easier for families.
create some familiarity
Sometimes such decisions are borne out of necessity when a par ent is relocated by his or her company. Other times it is a personal reason to try out a new neighborhood or up grade to a larger home.
Do not blindside children with a move. Begin having conversations as a family as soon as the possibility of moving arises. Involve the children in some of the decisions. Ask about the features they want to see in their new home. Talk about the reasons for the move, such as a new job or that the family has outgrown the space. Kids can process much more than many adults give them credit for.
Children may have concerns about the move that differ from

how to talk to your kids about money, budgeting, and saving
One
We find little moments to talk about money in a way he can under stand. At the grocery store, we allow him to spend $10 on school snacks. We remind him what he likes, show him what’s on sale, and let him make the decisions so he feels empowered. At home, we tell him to shut the wa ter off during bath time because wa
As parents, we’ll be the major in fluence on our children’s spending habits and feelings towards money. We need to get comfortable talking about money and the earlier we start, the better the outcome. Here’s an out line about how to talk to your kids about money as they grow up.
age 5 and under: start early
4Rent.ca September 16–30, 2022 24EXTRAS
Introducing your kids early to money allows them to grow up with it as part of their daily lives. Teachable moments create themselves the more they interact with the idea of money.
My five-year-old son has a piggy bank he loads with the spare change
he finds in couch cushions. He brings home his Scholastic books flyer, and we’ll dump out the coins and see what he can buy. We count up the pennies, explain to him how it turns into a nickel, how 5 nickels convert to a quarter before getting into loonies and toonies. He’s learning that things cost money and if you don’t have enough money, you can’t buy it.
My two-year-old daughter uses an old glasses case as a wallet and likes to push buttons at the ATM. The other day she handed me a toy from a low hanging bin at the corner store and told me to, “buy it.” This is her current level of understanding. A wallet carries money, money comes from a machine, and if she wants to buy something, she needs money.
of the earliest times your kids learn about money is by sitting in the grocery cart. They watch you evaluate products and pay with a credit card or cash. Sure, they may end up whining on the floor about not getting a Kinder Surprise at the check out counter but don’t give in. A teach ing moment to talk to your kids about money is upon you.
All their lives you supplied the necessities: the roof over their head, the clothes on their backs, and the food on the table. Now, as teenagers, they want trendy jeans and a video game console. They’ll probably get their first job to do so. Their first pay cheque is a great time to teach them to put needs ahead of their wants. My mom taught my older sister the enve lope budgeting system.
the teenage years: wants vs. needs
My sister withdrew a certain amount from her chequing account on payday, leaving some money behind to transfer to her savings accounts. She sorted the cash into different “want” envelopes for various expenses - din ing out, partying, clothes, etc.
Don’t expect a kid in grade school to grasp the idea of prime rates or the importance of diversifying their in vestments. Use real-world situations, at age-appropriate times, to talk to them about money.
One year later, his kid came to him, money in hand, and said, “Dad, I want to buy an iPad.” He took his child to the store, but the kid came up short. My buddy paid the taxes and used it as a teachable moment. A 7-year-old doesn’t know about taxes but what a great time to learn about them.
When your kids are ready to move out, you can only hope you’ve in stilled smart money practices be
cause they’re going to need them. If not, you may find yourself bailing them out of credit card debt and stu dent
From the time they can talk, your kids will be learning about money and will see how it affects their par ents’ lives. Being open and honest in an age-appropriate manner will put them in good standing for years to come. Be a good role model, and your kids will succeed. ■
She bought everything cash and learned the importance of budgeting her money. If the dining out envelope was empty, she could say no to her friends and invite them over for din ner. If she chose to go out, she’d bor row from a different “want” envelope, like new clothes, and understood the repercussions. In the end, she could get what she wanted and was saving up for her long-term needs.
Find moments in your day to day where you use money and enlighten them. Don’t overwhelm them, prac tice a little bit at a time.
ter costs money - introducing the idea of household expenses but, in a con text he can grasp.
Her parents were her role models. Her mom stayed at home to tend to the 4 kids while her Dad worked. They struggled to make ends meet but always made sure to have a good time. They travelled in a big van on long road trips with each parent swapping off every 6 hours, so they didn’t have to pay for a hotel. If two kids needed new shoes, one kid had to wait until the next month. Her mom still manages her bank book by paper every Technologymonth.has made moneysaving even easier. Facebook market place, community groups, and Kijiji have great finds for clothes and toys. We have a dedicated account for bills which automatically withdraws money from our payroll account. We fly on points, we use one of the best credit cards in Canada to save on groceries, and we’re always reading money blogs that educate us on mak ing smart financial decisions
The envelope system involves labelling envelopes for wants and needs and using your pay to fill each envelope. You fill the needs enve lopes first – rent, utilities, and grocer ies and with what’s left, you can div vy it among the “wants” envelopes.

I have a friend whose son, at only 7-years-old, bought an iPad. Here’s how it happened. At age six, he start ed receiving an allowance which his son promptly blew on candy. After a few weeks, he talked to his son about saving for a big purchase and the val ue of delayed gratification.

Whenloans.my wife and I moved in to gether, I still had student loans. I was only paying the interest complain ing I didn’t have enough to pay any principal. She helped me find mon ey. We stopped going out and just bought what we needed. We threw whatever we could at the loan and in three months, it was gone. I was amazed. She taught me a lot about self-control, something her parents had taught her.
age 10 and under: be age appropriate
On the ride home, the taxes dis cussion evolved into more money talk. Long story short, the next year, the son asked his Dad to take him to a bank to invest his savings into a GIC. The teller said he didn’t have the minimum to invest - “Don’t wor ry, my dad will pay the rest.” My friend turns to his son and tells him he wants interest on the loan he sud denly has to provide - another teach able moment at an appropriate age. The best part? The kid is taking an interest in learning, the dad is only telling him the information he needs as not to overwhelm him. Be straight forward, but don’t overshare.
Years later, she’s maxing out her RRSP every year, and that takes dili gence. She doesn’t use envelopes, but the system still exists in a digital format. the twenties and be yond: be a role model, teach self-control

Take packing, for example. Some clients want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turnkey solu tion where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each ap proach, so it is important to choose what’s best for you.
At Two Men and A Truck, trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as required, and we sell a full range of packing supplies. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful move. There are also significant con siderations to keep in mind, such as

Most who choose to pack them selves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from Point A to Point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing.
Professional packers have the expe rience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and they pack accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first.

not packing explosive or flammable items in the general boxes.
Moving is a very per sonal thing and peo ple who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service.

Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be re paired or replaced.
Chuck Resnick is vice-president, marketing and operations at Two Men and A Truck – Canada®.
The most critical element in pack ing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during tran sit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to your new home or business. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed
Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry. Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers, newsprint, markers, pads and bub ble wrap – and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5 cubicfoot box that is often referred to as a book or record box. It’s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lampshade box, which is 3 cubic feet in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and 6 cubic feet for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the mov ing materials that are available today. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing topnotch service. Visit www.twomen.ca. ■
