“What I and my wife started is - involve our daughter in all kinds of small planning. Let’s say, planning a vacation. We would involve her in packing bags, and emergency requirements, all within a budget. Not only did she get a sense of participation, but over a period of time, she started aligning herself to more budget timelines. These are the kind of small processes you can use to make your children more financially aware, in a more joyful manner.”  

For many of us, our first experience or lesson about financial wisdom came from our parents, and usually, it was dad or papa or appa who insisted we save for our future. Welcome to the Father’s Day Special on The Moneywise Podcast, where we discuss finance from the perspective of a father!
