One of the most
convenient methods of saving money is to make a locker and keep on saving
money. This method is one of the oldest and people used to save money by
themselves without depending on any other person.
If you don’t
trust someone else to keep your money safe, you can continue to save it on your
own.
You can make a
locker and put your saving in that locker for as long as you want. A benefit of
this method is that you will not have to pay for different plans available in
the bank. They have their own charges and they deduct a little money from you.
Using a Bank
Account of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women
In the modern
world, using a bank account for saving money has become one of the easiest and
most convenient methods. For instance, you need to visit your preferred bank
and open an account there. As soon as your bank account is active, you can
begin saving your money without having to worry about the security.
The prime benefit
of choosing this method is that you don’t have to worry about the security of
your money. In contrast with saving by yourself in which you have to look out
for the money by yourself, you can leave the security of your money to the
bank. You can just deposit the necessary amount of money in the bank account
and rest assured. Whenever you want, you can withdraw money and whenever you
want, you can make a deposit as well.
However, one important
thing to consider is care. When you have a bank account and you use it often,
you have to make sure that you are not being careless in using it. For example,
you have to ensure that you are not leaving receipts in the open where someone
can steal necessary information for making a withdrawal. With the rising use of
credit cards, the risk of identity theft has also increased.
That is why,
although it is a convenient method, you have to be careful in using it. Among
the different account types, you should choose a saving account.
Investing in Early
Childhood of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women
One of the most
important stages for a child to learn is early childhood. As soon as your child
is able to understand your gestures and words, you should begin teaching him or
her. Early childhood investment will prove to be effective later on.
You can purchase
different equipment, toys, and books which can promote the learning ability of
your children. For instance, it has been determined by studies that cognitive
and acquisition skills of young kids are quite high. They are able to acquire
something in a very short amount of time as compared to a teenager. Thus, you can
get your children building blocks which they can use to create different
structures and things. Building blocks helps in enhancing the innovation of
children.
There is one
important thing that you should understand. Your children must not use mobile phones
for a long period of time. In the modern world, technology has prevailed but it
has also brought some drawbacks and issues with it. For instance, it can not
only affect your children’s health but can also make them develop an addiction.
That is why, exposure to mobile phones and related technology must be limited.
If you really
want your children to develop smart skills early in their childhood, you should
introduce them to different games which need strategies. It will help them in
thinking beyond their limits and grow.
Childhood to Teenage
of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women
This period is
also very important for children and they require proper guidance. Other than
just investing in their education, you also need to invest your time in their
development. On a regular basis, you should talk with your children and listen
to their issues and problems.
It is important
for a mother to guide her children. There will be turns in the lives of your
children and during this period, they will have numerous questions, you should
answer them and let them know that you care for them.
A working woman
is often unable to find time for her children. Actually, it is one of the most
common mistakes which adversely affects her children. If you are working then
it would be a great contribution to the development of your children if you are
able to spend time with them and be happy.
As you spend time
with your children, you should also let them know about their responsibilities
and what they will be doing in the future. You must never forget to tell your
children about respecting elders and never speaking against them.
Teenage
of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women
This is the
period for which you have been planning all this time. During these years, your
children will need you to support them. You need to admit them in an institute
which can provide them with the education they require for developing
themselves.
There is no need
for an extra institute. Otherwise, your children will be burdened and won’t be
capable of comprehending their work.
This also the
time when you need your children to understand the importance of excelling in
grades. In the modern world, you might already know, there is no place for
those who cannot keep up and make a name for themselves. Therefore, you should
let your children know that their objective is to excel in their classes and
attain maximum grades.
There is no need
for you to overwhelm your children. You just need to tell them the truth about
what happens to those who fail and are unable to keep up. Even during this
time, you should guide your children and let them know about the real life.
One important
thing to consider at this time is that you should look out for your children.
There is a high chance of them to be influenced by external factors. Thus, you
should look observe them and make sure that they aren’t doing anything which
can negatively affect them. Other than just keeping an eye on your children,
you should go on outings or gather together every now and then.
As children begin
to study and you are always working, there is a possibility that you might not
be spending enough time each other as a family. This can create gaps between
you and your children. That is why, you should make your family spend some time
with each other even if family members are busy. For instance, if you are free
on Sunday, you can just go to a park with your children to have a picnic. Only
a few hours will be more than enough for your children to spend productive and
happy time with you.
Maturity
of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women
As soon as your
children reach high school, you should begin emphasizing on the importance of
their grades. While you should not prohibit them from spending innovative time,
you should make them understand how their grades will determine if they can get
admission into a college or not.
If you guide your
children right, they might be able to produce some amazing results. Even though
you have the financial backup to support a costly college, you should still
make your children aim for high scores and grades.
As your children grow up and begin to
start their own lives, it becomes your responsibility to guide them to the
right path. Most of the time, students don’t know from which college, they
should be pursuing their education. In such a situation, they are unable to
actually pursue their passion and degree.
You don’t have to make the same
mistake. Instead of letting your children do everything on their own, it is
important for you to guide them and tell them what is better for them and what
is not.
Guidance is quite necessary for your
children regardless of their age. When your children reach the age when they
need admission in the college, you should let them know about how much you can
support them and how much they should be expecting. You must tell them about
whether they should be working or not.
Even though I have told you that you
shouldn't allow your children to work, it doesn't mean that you must cover
their budget completely. You should tell them that they need decent grades in
order to get a scholarship, if they do get a scholarship then you can provide
them with enough money to cover the remaining part of their fees.
This way, you will be telling your
children that they need to be independent as well. Making your children
completely depend on you isn't healthy for them. Other than just working, you
have to let them know that they must work towards their future as well.
They have to struggle on their own as well. If you keep on helping them then
they wouldn't be able to do anything on their own. Therefore, it is necessary
for you to tell them what they need to do.
Proper and decent upbringing is also a
method of investing in your children. Although you should tell them about their
responsibilities, you should never force them to work. Being honest is one of
the greatest methods of understanding your children and making them understand
you.
As your children graduate and obtain
their degree, it is now up to them whether to work or to continue their
studies. Even though you might have the backup to support them, it doesn't mean
that you should just provide this support to them. Instead of it, you have to
make them work. Then again, keep it in mind that you don't need to be forceful.
If you have been honest in raising
your children, they wouldn't give you the chance to force them to work for
themselves.
Once your children are settled, you
don't need to worry about them anymore. Now, it is time to spend your life
easily with your husband and be a happy woman. There is no doubt that you must
be prepared for the worst. For instance, there might be an emergency and you
might even need a large amount of money to resolve the issue. Therefore, you
must be prepared for it. Otherwise, you can continue to be happy.
Believe me, seeing your children happy
would make you happy and you will feel as if all of your efforts were indeed
worth it. This is a great feeling.
If you are successful in following
what I have told you so far, you will be a businesswoman, a strategic and
independent woman, an understanding mother, and even a financially strong
grandmother. You will be doing what most of the women unfortunately are unable
to do.
