7 Essential Tips to Teach Your Children About Money

1. Money Is Earned In today’s dreadful economy, raising your children to expect things to be handed to them with no effort would put them at a serious disadvantage in the workforce. I’m not saying you should pay them to do household chores that they should already be doing for no financial reward ( because who doesn’t want to live in a clean home free from clutter?) , but  do encourage them to open a lemonade stand, help you prepare for a yard-sale, and mow neighbor’s yards when they are old enough. 2.

Of course, the idea of holding onto high-quality investments while selling the poor ones is great in theory, but hard to put into practice. The following information might help: Riding a Winner - Peter Lynch was famous for talking about " tenbaggers ", or investments that increased tenfold in value.
