A child’s most important teachers are his parents. Children learn by watching what we do more than what we say. So I must walk my talk, continue to read and learn about money, finance, spend money consciously and live a simple lifestyle.
We as Asian parents think that talking about money is a taboo subject and will ‘pollute’ their children’s innocent minds. We make our choice and face the consequences.
I feel that financial literacy is a life long process. It should start before children enter schools. No matter how much effort is put into formal methods of financial education in schools, we as parents should put consistency effort in providing the learning curve to our children.
Even we are rich or poor, we must always teach our children 'how to fish than give them a fish'. Therefore, we must take action of what we should do now or our children will be left behind. It is very important to educate our children the financial literacy that our parents have never taught us. We learnt from our mistakes so don't let our children learnt the same mistakes we have made.
Do you have anything financial story to share? Please leave a comments and tell me what do you think?
