When it comes to finance, my parents were pretty bad, they could not save much, they did not invest much, and apart from safeguarding the ancestral property they did not build any kind of assets, But they kept their kids pretty well. They finances their kids education even paid for their kids marriage. My parents did not teach me finance, I had to learn it hard way.

My parents taught us kids how to manage our finances, do business and save money. I learned business by selling candies in our gate at age 11 and saved my profit in my piggy bank.

My sister and I had to manage home finances when my parents went on a holiday trip. That's how I learned managing money.

My parents taught me to live frugally, by training me to save money in a piggy bank, they even trained me to trade, while I learned finance at school.

My parents gave me a piggy bank when I was just 5 years ago. They taught me to save my pocket money and lucky money I received during Chinese New Year.

My parents actually taught me some things and other things had to lean by experience or from just watching them.

Yes, because people in my former country are considered among of the greatest savers of the world. I had a wooden piggy bank (in the form of a colourful apple, I still remember) since my childhood. When the apple was full of coins, my father proceeded to invest that money. Repeating the process all months. In any way, considering their era, my parents mainly knew about conservative investments. I learned the rest (medium and risky investments, how they work and when to invest) in the university first and then engaging in further financial studies.

My mom was the kind of person that used to spend lots of money. But my dad was a spendthrift. So I was rather confused. Dad tried to teach me money management.

It's very essential for the parents to teach their kids about financial management. It's from my father I learned how to manage money which is why at a young age, I learned to save through a piggy bank.
