Your Attitude Toward Money Impacts On Your Children Too

I was at the PSA Convention this week. PSA is the Professional Speakers Association. I met up with some of my best friends; successful, inspiring, wonderful people who are keen to help each other to Step Up to the next level! At this conference one of my dear, dear friends, a man I adore a great deal, handed me a book that he has just written and published. It's a book that I believe should be on the bookshelf of every home.

It's called “Things I Have Learnt From My... Father/Son”. Co-written by Paul Bridle and his son David, it's full of quotes, thoughts and feelings to help you learn about your Father or your Son.

A quote from David's learning was "It's not the amount of credit card limit; it's the lack of credit spent that shows true wealth" This shows some great sensible financial teachings Paul has instilled in his son. I would add the word "bad" between "lack of" and "credit"; however the lesson is sound.

Another, more amusing quote is "Don't spend £80 to buy "dirty work worn" jeans. It's cheaper to buy normal jeans and work them in". Ha Ha! Very amusing.

My challenge to you is to examine the thoughts or teachings you are giving or receiving about money and credit. Are you teaching your children the techniques in the above book, or that I write about in the DebtFree & Happy pack or even from The Six Mistakes People in Debt Make E-Course.

What you say about and do with money sets a precedent for your children. Teach them well and you'll give them the very best chance of making the most of life, money and much more.
