Because were not born that way
Parents, I want to do a little bit of thinking with you: Are you responsible in the handling of your family’s finances? Of course you are — yet it is probably true that you were not always like that. Simply put, it probably has taken you a number of years to learn all that you know about the proper handling of money. You have undoubtedly learned many lessons over the years — as well as made many mistakes along the way. I’m sure that you would agree that it is a learning process — and that no one is born with this understanding. This is one reason why I think you should secure finance training for kids in your household — remember that they, too, have to have an opportunity to learn. Remember that your kids, like yourself, were not born with and knowledge of how to manage their personal finances.
