Money lesson

Come 21.6.2015 it is going to be my first Father's day Celebration for me. I know it is bit too fast for that as my son is still so small and does not really comprehend the real meaning of the celebration.

Well Jaskaran, papa is also learning each and everyday about how to be a good papa and so is your mom. We do not have a manual or "How to books to guide us on being a good parent. What I am learning is thru trial and error. But promised that I will try to be a good father to you and try my best to provide for you the best things in life.

What I need to get for you is not money but the ability to learn to make money. Making money is easy but to learn the value of money is hard part. You should know that money can but things but not family and love. Therefore I will try to make understand about money from the young on things that are easy for you to understand. You need to know about how to safe money just like my dad taught me.

Let me share with you this lesson about money management which your grandpa taught me. You see when I was young and going to school, I use to get 50cent as pocket money and being the adsent minded I would forget to put the money in my pocket thus having no money during recess. Well your grandpa then gave me rm15.00 per month as pocket money. This would teach me on how to manage the pocket money well. I use to take food from home and save the money and by the end of the year would have saved a lot of money and eventually purchase something nice for myself as a reward. Those were the great days.

So that is one of the same manner in which I tended to teach you as well.Jaskaran, you should also learn to be street smart and not only smart in studies.
