Lessons in finance must be learned early

Finance is the most important thing for us, and almost in all cases, we need money. If anyone wants to be happy in life, he must need money. If anyone says that money can't bring happiness, then I agree with him, but at the same time, there is another reality, and the reality is that no one can be happy without money, because most of the things that bring happiness are highly related to money.

Most of the activities are driven by finance, and for earning, all of us work hard. All of us are chasing money badly. Sometimes we choose to forget what is right and what is wrong. That is the reason people go for illegal activities to earn money. But today I am going to share some finance-related lessons that can help others. Let's start discussing it.

Everyone wants to earn money, but everyone can't make money because money doesn't come to us without any effort. Many of us think that just by finishing our education, we get a job easily, and it's a misconception because, in recent times, only education is not enough. In this digital time, I think solely depending on education, we can't think of achieving stable earnings. The more skills we acquire, the more possibility there is to earn money. If we become skilled in several things, it allows us to earn from multiple sources. So all of us need to focus on acquiring multiple skills. Based on my country's situation, most people only think about jobs, and very few people are interested in business. Some get afraid of business because of the risk involved, and some stay away from it just because of a lack of business funds. To be honest, I have seen very few people who have the mentality of doing business. In my opinion, risk is everywhere, and sometimes some risks are worthy of taking. I think business is the thing that can allow us to earn huge amounts of money, and for it, we don't need to depend on others. I would love to suggest doing business, even if I have a job with a handsome salary. Job is not a permanent thing, and we should not depend too much on it because anytime we may lose the job, unless it's a government job, and only very few people get that kind of job.

From an early age, having the mentality of saving is very important. Many people may think about how much one can save at an early age, but it's not only about how much, it's about practice. If the habit doesn't develop at an early age, it may be difficult to save money after growth as well. Moreover, saving money is a continuous process, and with time, it becomes bigger, so I think it's a good thing to learn how to save money, even if the amount is small. At the same time, learning to invest is also good. So from an early age, saving and making investments are both necessary for us if we want to be better at finance-related things.

The another thing that is disappointing is that it's about parents. I don't know why most parents don't allow their children to deal with finance-related issues at an early age. I think parents should allow them to handle it, and moreover, they can guide their children in times of critical or difficult situations. I think it's the best thing to give practical knowledge to children about finance-related matters. So that they will be able to handle the situation in better ways after they grow up. So that kind of mentality should be changed. I know, it's not so easy, but not impossible either.

What I said here was based on my experience and observation. I think it may help someone to do better in finance-related things. I am hopeful that most of the things I shared here are beneficial to others.
