This week I wanted to write about how I teach my daughter about money. And I want to give the grown-ups a wake-up call because you have the biggest influence on younger people, but you might need to take your role more seriously. If some of us had to do an NCEA course in personal finances, we would get a ‘not achieved’ grade. This means it’s hardly surprising that we don’t have the knowledge about money to hand down to those younger people in our lives, meaning that some of them go on to make a right hash of their pūtea.
