Financial Advice for a Picky Eater

Written by Gary Foreman

The Dollar Stretcher Blog

I have a 5 year old that is a very picky eater. Will not eat veggies, except green beens or corn. Meat only hamburger or ham. Can you give me some suggestions as to what dishes I can make? My husband and I are tired of eating the same meals. Thank you.

Sonny asks a good question, although at first I wondered if it weren’t better suited for a parenting column. But given more thought, it occurs that it really helps illustrate a point about raising financially responsible children. How so? Let’s take a look.

We’ll begin by considering what Junior is saying when he refuses to eat anything but hamburger or ham. Part of it is good. He’s exploring how much control he has over his world. And, although I’m not a child psychologist, that strikes me as healthy. It’s all part of the growth process.

As a financial consultant, I’ve coached many people on why emergency funds are important. You can get more information by searching google, or check our resource links for budget spreadsheets and other financial calculators. In the previous post you learned important personal finance basics about starting an emergency fund like budgeting, goal setting and automation. Today I’ll go over three quick tips to help you decide where to start your emergency fund.

Convenience – If you’re like most people, you want to make saving into an emergency fund as seamless and easy as possible. Coaching personal finance basics has taught me that if it’s not easy, it usually doesn’t get accomplished. You likely have a checking account. If so, you probably have a savings account attached, or could open one online or at your branch. If so, I would suggest using this venue to park your emergency funds.
