Learning how to count money, calculate expenses and the value of savings is one of the most important lessons that a child can learn, as the habits that he forms regarding spending and saving during these formative years are likely to follow him into adulthood. There are a variety of books, websites and games devoted to helping kids acquire these essential skills, but the advent of the smartphone has helped to change the way that we pass lessons along to our children as well. These ten iPhone applications are available in the App Store, and can supplement your own teaching methods.

Outside of flights, accommodation is usually the next big travel expense. Luckily, it's quite easy to get free or cheap accommodation.

• Hotel Deals: Getting a sweet deal on a hotel is actually really easy, especially if you are in the United States. Simply head over to Priceline or Hotwire and bid on rooms. When you know your dates, just head to Better Bidding first to see what similar people bid on and won at. Use that as your baseline. I used this method to get a hotel room in Times Square, New York during Christmas for $85 USD per night. (That is a huge bargain!)
