8 Great Financial Lessons – A Daughter Shares Her Father’s Advice: CNBC posted a wonderful article yesterday. Marguerita Cheng shares the financial lessons she learned from her father who “emigrated from Taiwan in the 1960s with only $17 to his name and the clothes on his back.”
Some of the 8 Great Financial Lessons include:
- Teach your children to work hard – Children need to understand the correlation between work and earnings from a young age.
- Help them learn to save – As soon as they are old enough to start filling up a piggy bank, they can begin saving.
- Teach them to give – Cheng points out that this lesson presents an opportunity for kids to discover what they value most and how to support that in an active way.

The article also shares a disturbing statistic from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Foundation: it is estimated that nearly two-thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test.
