💡 Grandparent Budgeting Tips

  • Experiences over things: Outings and activities create lasting memories that toys can't match.
  • Age matters: A teen may need more for activities, while a baby needs more for basics.
  • Set boundaries: It's okay to have a budget! Being a loving grandparent doesn't require unlimited spending.
  • Track special occasions: Birthdays, holidays, and milestones can add up quickly. Plan ahead!
  • Quality time is priceless: Your presence and attention are the most valuable gifts you can give.
  • Communicate with parents: Coordinate with your grandchildren's parents to avoid duplicating gifts or undermining their parenting.
