Successful entrepreneurs are talented in a number of different areas. Managing assets in both your business and personal life is one of the most important areas to master. If your company is to continue for future generations, it's critical that your kids also learn to manage money wisely. This article will show you some basic ways to help you educate your kids about financial planning, and how to manage their personal finances.
Provide them allowance- Instill responsibilities into your children like taking out the trash, cleaning the house, and feeding pets. The level of responsibility, of course, should be tied to the amount of allowance, their personal finances, ages, and their abilities.
Create savings goals to help your children maximize their personal economy- Develop and prioritize a list of why your kids should save, and things they want to save for-large and small. Build a chart that encompasses a rating system. Put one star for the items that are least important, two stars next to the things they would like, and three stars next to items they want most. Use this system to help them establish how much they need to save.
Put their savings in a safe place- Keep spending and savings money separated (perhaps in labeled containers). Use different colored wallets for buying and saving, and attach a photo of that "something special" to keep their goals visible. Furthermore, have them open a bank account and keep their spending cash home.
Mark your kid's progress- Children, as well as adults, may find saving boring. Attaining a personal economic objective might include having a savings chart, and coloring the money that is saved in separate sections. Recognize your kid's progress by using charts, and putting them in visible areas.
Discourage impulse purchases- Savings objectives can often become derailed by sporadic buying (e.g. that hot new toy). But this can be avoided by the following suggestions:
Remember your savings goal- For comparison purposes, carry a picture of what you are saving for when tempted to buy an item.
Leave behind money- Limit spur-of-the-moment purchases by only bringing a limited amount of money for shopping.
Have a savings objective- Compare anything you purchase to a photo of what you are saving for.
Get help in securing your money- If you feel they will be tempted to spend, keep your kid's cash in a secure place.
Think before buying- Categorize your "wants list" against the other things you want. resist purchasing anything you see for at least 2 weeks.
Your children will certainly take much satisfaction in creating a savings plan that helps them meet their financial goals. It would even be good to consider matching their savings when they can prove they are serious about putting away good amount of money. The financial values you instill in your kids early on will increase the chances of your family enterprise continuing for decades to come.
