Financial Freedom-The Most Expensive Lessons Every Parent Should Teach Their Kids!

As a parent, there are certain things you need to teach your kids, don’t depend on schools thinking that they are the right source to teach your kids about facts of life mostly financial intelligence.
Schools don’t teach student about financial intelligence, they only teach students on how to secure jobs and manage other people’s businesses.You as a parent will be the one to teach your kids about financial intelligence which is the most expensive advice a parent can ever give to a child.
Rich dad said in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad that “ the worst advice every parent will give his or her kid is to go to school, get good grade and secure a good job” Yea I agree with that. Don’t get me wrong am not saying that sending your child to school is a bad idea, no it’s not, but sending him or her to school without giving them the informal education which is the financial lessons is useless.
If you really want your kid to achieve financial freedom in life, you should start preaching the informal education to him or her. If you are thinking that you will wait till he or she is 18 and above. You are losing it.
The future starts from now, if you can nurture the mind of your kids at their early age I bet you, before they get grown up they will understand better, also they will get to know what you are actually trying to impact into them and by the time they get the idea, they will forever give thanks to you for being the best parent ever. Below are the most expensive lessons you should teach your kids.
The Most Expensive Lessons You Should Teach Your kids Are:
Give them The Entrepreneurial Mindset: One of the most expensive lessons you can give to your kids is by giving them the entrepreneurial mindset right from their early age. In case you don’t know, there are only two kinds of people in this world and they are The ENTREPRENEURS AND OTHERS. This world is the world of entrepreneurs! Yes! That’s the fact. When I was young my Dad used to tell me that only the minds with creative spirit have upper hand in this economy, he also said that if I want to study a course in school, I should study a course that I can use to establish my own business, a course that will serve me on a long-term run because if I should study a course that I can’t use to establish my own business, that I will only be working for people, managing other people’s money and the chances are slim. He also said that I should never rely on my school certificate, that a school certificate is just a piece of paper, what matters most is how capable I am, how I can prove myself and how I can use my brain! And I should learn another skill outside the box that will serve me on the long-term run. At first I didn’t agree to what he said but as times goes on I started grabbing all what he’s trying to say. The rate of unemployment is growing rapidly, especially in my country where chances of securing a good job is very slim even if you graduate from school with good grades. I know a lot of people who graduated from school with good grades yet they are still roaming about the street. Why? Simply because they thought their school certificate would help them out. Am urging you as a parent to give your kids the entrepreneurial mindset. Let them know the fact about succeeding in today’s economy. Don’t let your child be lame, advice them on how they can build on it, by so doing, you are helping them build a greater future.
Teach them About Money Matters: Yea teach them about money matters, nowadays kids do spend anyhow they like which are not meant to be. Let your child knows how money works and how they can manage it so as to help him or her spends less and save more. Teaching your kids about money matters will help them build a better future also help them achieve financial freedom at early age.  If a kid doesn’t know about money matters at his or her early age by the time he or she grows up, it will be hard for the kid to adapt with it. Let them embrace the act of spend less and save more at their teen age.
Teach Them On How To Build Asset: Like I said earlier that you should let them embrace the idea of spending less and save more, advice them on how to use the money they save to build an asset. Teach your kids about financial intelligence by nurturing their minds with the idea of building assets. Let them know that asset can buy luxury, and they should learn how to build their asset first before e any other things. I started investing at the age of 17! If I can start building my asset from now I know my future will be bright. So try to impact the knowledge into them!
Let Them Know The Types Of Friends They Should Have: You might be wondering, what friendship has got to do with this, yes it’s important, its part of main factor that can help your kids succeed in life, the company they keep rally matters a lot. Friends are part of the main factor that adds to the success of a man, that’s why it’s always good to watch the company your kids keep. Friends can break and make someone’s life. so what am trying to say is that, make sure your kids keep good company I mean make sure they hang out with friends that will add value to their lives and not the friends that will destroy their life.
