Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, said that the best gift you could ever give to your children is the gift of financial education. How I wish that in my younger years, my parents or those adults I look up to taught me about money, expenses, savings, investments, business, and other money-related topics. I have never heard my parents or my near kinsmen talk about it as a topic. Even now, only few people would like to engage in the topic of money and financial management. I find it ridiculous because most of our lives are spent working for money or looking for ways to make money. When we do have some money, most of us doesn't know what to do to make it grow. Therefore, I believe its about time that we make it one of our priority - to be educated financially. What thinkest thou?

I'm constantly trying to educate myself and be financially literate. I honestly think that financial literacy should be taught as early as in the grade school level of schools. We'd have a generation of children who know how to invest and make their money grow instead of waiting for dole-outs from the government.

Common sense aint that common. The amount of money we have and we make , would most likely have an effect on our lives

In high shcool, i learn how to making money by our qualification because it was a qualified school. Most of my friend not continue their school to the university because prefer to making money. I agree that we had to learn investment, saving, spend wise and even making money. Its an important topic for life.
