Early financial education is indispensable! Whether it should be the task of the school or the teachers, I leave now times undecided. For a while I thought similarly that the school should be in the duty. Since some years I think differently. Teachers are now partly on the "stick" - completely overcrowded classes - partly language barriers - partly inclusion kiddies - partly children who need additional support, or demand etc pp. I grew up with Olaf's savings book, money that Grandma has hidden between the sheets and the announcement of Dad "stock market is pure money burning" Logically, it was also never addressed in my school. Financial education I have taken over my kiddies themselves. With pocket money budgeting, saving and also treat yourself to something. Writing a shopping list and going shopping on a budget. Whereby that really, just came from the girls alone. In the end, I was probably the role model. Since Corona is with me stock exchange topic, accordingly constantly the flipchart stood in the living room where I scribbled and painted on everything possible. The interest, for what I did there, came from alone. I explained ETF on the basis of a bouquet (1 flower/1 share - 1 bouquet/ 1 ETF). You can also do great with noodles 🤣! The book "A dog named Money" was read, with 3 children something herrausfordernd, but it was mega interesting how they have tried to explain the topic to each other. Meanwhile, they are teenagers, two have mini-jobs, manage their finances alone, hack them, etc..
The eldest will soon set up a deposit with savings plan, it came voluntarily from her. In retrospect, I would of course, with the current knowledge, started much earlier, but at 18 I just had other things in mind ✌🏼

@FrauManu just not from teachers in schools. There are already enough idiots running around here without a plan. How is that supposed to be then?
