My column this Sunday introduces readers to a great way to teach kids about money: put them in charge of the family finances on vacation. I learned about it from the Musengwa family, in which Nandi, 11 (the one in the middle) is now planning her third summer vacation. This year, Imani, 9, at left, also will get to take on a decision-making role. Little sister, Tendani, 5, will no doubt get her turn in time.
