Debt(债务) among young Americans is increasing. Are they ignoring their parents’ advice, or are the parents failing to teach their children about money? Here are a few simple lessons that children as young as seven or eight can understand.

Firstly, save before you buy. When you get money you should immediately save some of it, maybe 20%, After this, spend what you want. Secondly, watch your money. Don’t trust other people with it. Don’t lend money and don’t try to buy friends. If friends want your money, they aren’t real friends. Another piece of advice: buy only what you can afford. If that MP3 player or cell phone costs more than you have, then you don’t need it. Don’t borrow money for it, either. If you really want something, you can save for it. Saving teaches discipline. Also, after you have saved up enough money, you may realize you don’t really want it after all. Finally, don’t compare what you have with your friends. That expensive computer game of your friens next door may be borrowed or paid for on credit car(*). There is an old saying:“Give a person a fish and he eat for a day, but teach a person how to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.” This is also true when we teach our children about money. Don’t lecture your children or buy them everything they want. Teach them good habits and they will always look after their money.
