A Real Story: My True Role as a Mommy

My true role, as a mommy, is to work my way out of my job. Of course I will always be my precious little girl’s protector; however, we must give our children wings to fly on their own. My husband and I are so impressed with the Moola System. We have been implementing the system with our 3 ½ year old for about 3 months now. We are completely blown away by how quickly our daughter has caught on & how interested she is to EARN. She can recite all five rules of money—and did I mention she is not even FOUR years old?!?

I see a huge disconnect with our generation in regards to our relationship with money. There is a sense of entitlement, and if we all returned to “working hard and working smart” we would be a much more productive society. More importantly, I believe we would be in better favor with God. I am so thankful that the Moola Company has given us a way to introduce a healthy relationship in regards to money at such a young age. These rules, also, apply to us—the parents.

1. All money belongs to God.

2. If you don’t have money you can’t spend money.

3. If you spend too much money you won’t have money to spend.

4. I have to work hard and smart to earn more money.

5. God loves a cheerful giver.

Today our little girl earned enough Moolas to turn them in for a prize. It melted my heart that she pulled out her tithe FIRST…all on her own. Plus, she said she wanted to give ONE more to God (her offering). Again, I was completely in awe of her heart. Not to mention, the cashier at the toy store was in shock and impressed! She said it was refreshing to see this display as most children throw daily” fits in the store. This is God at work through this amazing company.

Our household dynamic has changed since introducing the system. Our daughter is eager to find ways to earn Moolas which in turn adds a sense of peace in our home. Plain and simple, this is a tool to teach and implement God’s plan and we cannot have too much of that in this unstable world. The Moola System is a true blessing. It is so simple to introduce and I love watching our daughter grow into an amazing & aware young person. This system will stick with her for her entire life—what an incredible foundation introduced in a way that is FUN & rewarding-for the whole family.

  1. What a beautiful testimony of family dynamics and what "ordering" your life financially can mean
