Credit card debts, loans and overdrawn (透支) accounts — these are costly mistakes you don't want your children to make when they grow up. According to Mylene Lopa, a chief marketing officer of Sun Life Financial, you should teach your kids about money as early as possible. Start simple and expose them to the following basic concepts.
Spending
Giving your children some pocket money is a good way to teach them how to be responsible. "The money should just be enough to buy them a treat, like a juice or a biscuit. It's for practice more than anything," Mylene says. Tell your kid he will get a reward if he saves some of that money.
Saving
They are always cute and colorful, making saving a fun and positive activity for kids. Encourage your children further by bringing them to the bank and showing them how to manage their savings themselves. It makes them feel more grown-up and they love it," says Mylene.
Earning
For children, earning usually comes in the form of gifts they receive for good grades or behavior. "Material rewards should be saved for even greater achievements," Mylene advises, "like if they top the class or they really go beyond the call of duty to help." This may let your children know making money is not so easy.
Along with these basic concepts, another way to teach kids about money is being a good example. It's hard to teach kids about saving if they see you splurging (挥霍) and borrowing all the time.
A. Be careful when giving them.
B. Buy your children moneyboxes.
C. Make it clear what items the money is for.
D. Set up a fund for your children when they get older.
E. Tell your children to pay a visit to the bank frequently.
F. Teaching your children about money will help them form good habits in life.
G. Avoid borrowing money from other people and use your credit card responsibly.
