Kids and Money? Discussion and coupon giveaway!

Bug was having a good time playing with my old coupon organizer. I gave him a couple "coupons" to put in and take out. 

Am I training him well, or what?  ;)

He's only 19 months old so he doesn't understand money and where his stuff comes from.  But I'm already thinking of how I'm going to teach him the value of a dollar and how to save and plan and budget and work for what you need and want.  I've been debating in my mind how we will do allowances.  But most of all, I'm trying to prepare myself to be a good example of saving and spending wisely.

I'd like to know YOUR best advice when it comes to teaching your kids about money.  Please comment below!  

One lucky commenter will win a coupon prize pack!  (Please make sure you leave an e-mail address!)  Three comments allowed per person as long as they pertain to the post- give advice, ask a question about the topic, answer another readers question, etc.  "Hi, please enter me in the contest" will not get you an entry but "Your son is adorable" might. ;)  Thanks!
