- Asking your friends to help you
- Hiring people to pack for you
- 1 and 2
Before we get to answers, it’s pretty obvious that the last bit is more crucial on a day-to-day basis. It’s important to raise kids with a sense of financial awareness before they get their first jobs and potentially grow into reckless spenders. This is exactly why…
