Introduction
Every generation has to learn about finances, either through bitter experience or through watching their own elders juggle and manage budgets and finances. And as we grow older we know one thing… As children, we believe that when we grow up we will be able to manage money matters better than our elders ever could!
Remember that your future prosperity and how well you take your money matters in hand today is going to influence the way your money is managed by you long-term. Remember that if you have bad role models as children, with parents will have absolutely no idea of saving money because life is for living, and as long as they are alive, spend, spend, spend, you are going to grow up with the same attitude.
The first mistake made by the older generation was not teaching you how to handle your own money. That is possibly because they did not know how to handle their own money. For them, money was burning a hole in their pockets, the moment they got a little bit of it in their hands. I remember reading a Judge Dredd futuristic comic of a dystopic society somewhere in the 23rd century. There is a woman who is a shopaholic, and who has been persuaded by a shop assistant to spend all her money because she does not want to go home with any money in her purse, does she?
And she says that she has 83 credits in her hand. And she does not know what to do with them. The shop assistant immediately picks up a pair of snow skis – though what she would do with a pair of snow skis in a city or a land, where recreational resorts were not present. The shop assistant looks at the tag and says”, it has been marked 80 credits but I will give it to you for 83 credits. There, your shopping is done.” And he packs up the snow skis and the half hypnotized and happy woman, with an empty purse staggers out of the hypermarket, totally thrilled with her buys.
I found it extremely funny because I would never find myself in such a circumstance, when I go shopping. If I ever go shopping! That is because I have a limited amount of money in my purse which I put in there. I know what I have to buy I leave my credit cards at home. I am not going to be sidetracked with things I do not want, but that is because I learned all about money management and managing my finances, when I was a child, like the rest of my friends were doing, learning this from their elders and parents.
People of my generation know all about it, because all over the world, at that time children knew all about the family financial situation and were not kept wrapped up in wool, with parents saying, money matters is none of your business. You are just a child and leave this to your parents who know best. These children were responsible. They grew up to be responsible adults.
Because people make the same mistakes that have been made by their parents in money matters, many of them do not have the career that they deserve and even financial stability, even when they are in their 40s and 50s. Once upon a time, it was stylish in many countries to file for bankruptcy, because that was taken as a part and parcel of business life. And so the children grew up believing that filing for bankruptcy was a normal occurrence in many lives. But they did not know that this was very bad money management and financial planning.
