Teaching Kids The Value Of Money

The joys and sorrows of this world can be summed up in one word - money. To a certain extent at least. It is the vehicle in which we drive through life but sometimes we get so lost in the drive that we forget where we are going. And most people ultimately go over a cliff. Recognizing money for what it is rather than what some people consider it to be is one of the lessons of life. Money can mean various things to various people; for some it is the ultimate goal, for most of the people it is a game of ‘catch-me-if-you-can’, while for some it is the goal that must be attained at any cost and some few, wise people consider it a trap. To learn the philosophy of life takes an entire lifetime as many broken and beaten down people will assure you. That is why it is very necessary that the value of money must be taught to children. It is safe that way as the habit develops and stays throughout the life. They must be made to understand the perils and necessity of money. For, a man who understands money is indeed a wise man. The most important lesson is that you can’t make money easy and to quote Kin Hubbard “The safest way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket”. Once your kid understands this, they are safe. Read the article below on how to teach kids the value of money.
