As she had to decide where to spend her hard-earned money, it was an exercise in clarifying her values while learning more about herself. She had no qualms about spending a sizable amount of money taking her little [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>I think it's safe to say that all of us wish we have more money. The reality is, we don't.

Yet I've found from personal experience with financial struggles  that having limited resources helps us  sharpen our values. So while we talk about saving money and making the most of what we have, what we are really doing is  allocating our resources according to our values.

My podcast  today is with Heidi of Little People Wealth. The subtitle of her website is a good "one-liner" description of what we talk about inAcirc;nbsp; this interview - Spend Small to Live Large. Heidi not only knows how to "spend small" (see her article "97 Ways to Save Money!"), but she shows us how she prioritizes her spending and how that reflects the values that her family lives by.

Heidi came from a large family where she learned from her parents, from a young age, how to live frugally. But her good spending habits is not what makes Heidi an outstanding mom. What I like is her commitmentAcirc;nbsp; to put her family  first.

I don&#8217;t give allowances to my kids. I pay forÂ  everything they need and, within reasonable limits, just about everything they want.

However, I started this year to give my 13-year-old daughter a small budget. She keeps track of the credits and debits in a check book register that I got from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In previous generations, kids were expected to work for their own spending money, and even to contribute to the family&#8217;s needs. Later as parents, they, understandably, wish their children to have an easier life than they had by making it possible for their children not to have to labor as they did. Unfortunately, this has [...]]]></description>
