Children need financial education
Unfortunately, the large majority of our children hang ail of their hopes and dreams of being finapcialty wealthy on the' premise of being an entertainer. Sure we have many other business people, lawyers, doctors and engineers who make a great deal of money. However, remember “it is not how much money you make,” that makes you wealthy, “it is how much you keep.” When a doctor makes $100,000 a year, but has living expenses from cars, homes, credit card debts and travel that exceeds his salary, is he really wealthy? This is where you need to explain to your child the difference between assets and liabilities. When a rich man buys a rare oil painting for a few thousand dollars, this is an asset. When a poor man buys 20-inch tires and gold rims for a few

thousand dollars, this is a liability. To keep things simple for your children, explain to them that “an asset is something that puts money in your pocket,” and “a liability is something that takes money out of your pocket,” according to Rich Dad, Poor Dad' author Robert T. Kiyosaki. Unfortunately, many of us accumulate liabilities every time we shop, and mistakenly “tlfink” tfiey (ire assets. Every child should be given some amount of allowance. The age of the child and the amount the parent can afford should be taken into consideration in regards to the amount each child should be given. Many parents think that kids should not be paid for cleaning their room, taking out the trash, doing the dishes, or cutting the grass. Parents have to spend money on clothes, shoes, lunch, and toys anyway. Why not give your child an allowance and began to teach them the value of money vs. wants and needs. If your child forgets to complete a chore, deduct some of their allowance. If they do extra work around the house, or they do an exceptionally good job, give them a small bonus. Of course your children will not be able to purchase all of their necessities, but they should be made aware of where the money is going and what percentage is being used. Too many families keep their children in the dark about all money matters concerning their income and what the money is used for. If anything else, you will be simulating math activities which they will need in school and later in life. All parents should open up a savings account for their children. Ten percent of their allowance should go into this account, and it should be left alone. Our children are taught to go out and buy big houses, fancy clothes, cars, and jewelry to look rich. And of course they “look” rich. But the reality is that they are much deeper into debt or the little money they did have, has now turned into a liability. And yes, a big fancy house can be a liability. Teach your child the skills that they will need to own and manage their own business. While the school corporation is teaching them how to be a good employee, you teach them how to be a good employer. While the schools teach them how to type on computers, sign them

work daily on their speaking, writing, and negotiating skills. Brain storm with them and help them create a summer business. Be sure they keep a flow chart of the money spent and the money that their business brings in. A person who is insane, keeps doing the same thing and expects to get a different result. Look at the last few generations of your family. Look at the people that you surround yourself with. In what way can these people help your children become financially wealthy? If you intend for your child to have a better financial situation than what you currently find yourself in, you may have to do something different. Change your mindset from thinking “work harder,” “work longer,” “go back to school,” or “get more training,” to “how can I make my money work for me.” This is how the rich get richer. They know that the harder they work, the more taxes that will be taken, and the more they will spend. Because subconsciously, most people think that they deserve to spoil themselves with “luxuries” for all the world to see that their hard work on the job is paying off. The information contained in the last two columns is by no means all there is to know to becoming financially wealthy, but it is more than is being taught in most school systems. In order to break the cycle of generation after generation from living pay-check to paycheck, we have to do a better job of giving our children a financial education. We need to allow them the freedom to experiment with money at an early age and help them understand how money and wealth is created. It is not by working your fingers to the bone for someone else. Take the journey with your child to figuring out how to keep as much money as they spend, and how to take the money that they do keep, and make it create more money for the family. Remember, it is not how much you make, it is how much you keep.
