Are you good with money? I learned to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So, I learned I had to save some if I didn’t want to run out of cash quickly. No surprise there: my dad was an

accountant!

It’s never too early to become money savvy. That’s what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He is part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school lessons in England. It will be planted in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old. Lewis says: “We eagerly need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(无知) in the UK” Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be saving and refuses any suggestion that he is tight. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express: “the better you are with your cash, the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.” The British say ‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’. It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.

Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to make up for a large number of people who were persuaded to part with their cash and buy

insurance policies (保单)they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments(投资) which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.
