What We Should Be Teaching Our Children But Don't

The education system which our children pass through in modern times is hardly modern, it's a leftover from the industrial age and doesn't do the children of today any favours.

The reason I say that is because our kids don't receive a financial education at a mainstream school. They are taught what they need to know for the basic job that they have chosen, or what has been chosen by them. In today's world which is ruled by the unimaginable amounts of money manipulated by the wealthy, our children cannot be expected to have every opportunity available to them without a financial education.

Schools teach children to work basically, how to get on in the workplace in return for a wage or salary. The more education a child receives, the more money they will usually receive in return for their labour. We need to break that moulded limiting thinking. Our kids need to be taught how to make their money work for them, not just work for their money.

Making our money work for us is the way that we'll make our lives better, as well as that of our families. Too much time is spent in this day and age in the workplace, at the expense of time spent with our families and friends. The quality of life for all of us can improve if we get smart and think - don't just work - work smart.

Unfortunately the education systems in most parts of the world do not cater for financially educating children. The wealthy understand the importance of this type of education and teach it themselves, but only to those within their circle. If you're wondering why the class system is still alive and well, it's not down to snobbery and a sense that one profession is necessarily better than the other. It's because of money.

The middle and working classes won't improve their position unless they get smart and educate themselves. Following the education is action - and that can only be taken by the individual - no one else can do it for them. So prosperity is due to the control of finance - that's obvious - however this prosperity is available to anyone providing they have the knowledge and the education to take the action required. Schools and universities should be teaching wealth and steps to building wealth in order to improve the standard of living of most people.
