The idea that money goes on tree is a false idea. What is true is that money surely does not grow on trees and it does have to be earned to be useful to people. Many children grow up not knowing the value of the dollar. That is a shame. Because when they become adults, those people tend to have more money problems than others. All parents should be teaching children about money.
Why would anyone want to teach a child about money? Could they be too young to understand? No way. Especially in these economic times, it would be one of the most important lessons in their life to be taught about the value of money in their young years. It would be such a great thing to do for them. They would become a very responsible person when it comes to spending and saving money.
Too many times have people seen families that have good cash flow just lavish their children with money and objects. And, when the money is gone, they just give them more. When they become adults they haven't learned how to deal with less, and therefore are poor managers of money.
It is such a good idea for parents to teach their children to be tight with their money in these economic times. Those that are able to put some money back for a rainy day are going to be much better off than those that don't. Saving money is so important for personal growth.
Teaching children about money is a very wise thing to do for their future. It ensures they will become responsible and good money managers. Not teaching them the value of the dollar and saving will make sure that they are irresponsible and will rely on others to give them whatever they want.
Those that don't do this will become poor money managers and will have money problems all their life. Teaching children about money is one of the best things you can do for them.
