The included video is an example (a bit over the top for most – but makes one think) of how “money” , finance, budget, education, carreer and retirement should be approached – Include everyone!
My weekly newspaper column “Learning To Use Money” along with my Financial Company always spoke of the importance of “getting educated” about everything in our lives. Although I have since formerly “retired” from both of these structures, We not only continue but actually have picked up the pace of helping and guiding people so they are “EMPOWERED”!
One little thing I always did when beginning the process of “understanding money and how to make it work for you rather than you work for it” was to include everyone involved. Always the kids were present during consultations and even in seminars. The simple reason was: Kids having “No Pre-Conceived Notions”, had an open mind. This open mind allowed them to very quickly grasp concepts. Using the oft used term “They Got It” almost immediately.
As their understanding grew, so did their enthusiasm and the family’s energy level rose. Good parents want “good things” for their children. So rather than “fluffing off” this important matter , the parents realized that “What they do today affects what happens tomorrow!”
Also rather than “me” being the one “teaching”, educating and guiding, the children often took the lead to “Teach” mom and dad! It always was a wonderful sight to see and hear! Talk about family communicating and working together and actually having a great time too —It was “the BEST”!
The results: Well –They would make you smile too! Families became self sufficient, “in charge” of their destiny and lives and ended the stress normal families have living with the “hope & pray” mentality! No more “counting on government or the company or the boss or mom and dad or the grandparents – It was like awakening a sleeping giant! The giant was Rich, Powerful, Happy and Benevolent! The giant was more human than most people ever hope to be!
How much time and effort do you spend “learning about one of life’s important issues – money? Most spend all their time running from it! Time spent on watching TV, a game, a party, or planning a vacation. None on the important things in life: money, politics, religion and sex. The most important yet the only ones NOT DISCUSSED, understood. They should be very comfortable to deal with – not worse than “the plague”!
Sit down with ALL the Family! Begin to talk – Listen to each other – share and grow together!
We are always glad to help! Just ask and we can help make it happen fro you too! —We retired twice but Life is too wonderful to “retire from taking part in it”! We will never again “retire”!
