How young can we teach our children about money management and financial literacy? I think it's best to start as early as the moment they learn how to count 1,2,3!Yes, start them young for it'll be their armor to their financial freedom when they grow up. Advanced thinking much? But this is true. Our children may seem to be just worry-free, not minding anything but when you get to talk to them about just anything you'll be surprised and may end up realizing that they understand what's going on around them. Particularly nowadays, where everything is expensive due to inflation, it is much better to start talking about "Money Matters" to out kids na!
Don't know where to start? we can help the children by educating them about the importance of financial literacy. Guide them about money management. Show them the basics of how to earn, save, and spend money by showing some examples. Children can easily learn and understand with a visual guide and actual experience of it works.
In this modern age, technology can also be a big help to our children in learning. Parents can assist, guide, and explain what they wanna know more about. It will also boost a strong family relationship because of the family bonding moments shared while learning.
