CHAPTER 6 - MONEY MATTERS (Our Son's FQ)

The author shares how she and her husband raised their three sons to have high FQ (Financial Intelligence Quotient) at a young age. Marty, Enrique and Anton have been speakers in a Financial Literacy Workshop for the Youth. They now have their own financial goals and keep tab of them with their individual Balance Sheets.

Read the chapter and learn a thing or two from the stories so you too can raise your children to have high FQ.

IN A NUTSHELL:

Whatever dreams and aspirations our sons have, they will always have to deal with money in their adult lives. In fact, being good with money at an early age will allow them to follow their dreams. Money really matters; it's our tool to have a comfortable and meaningful life, the very life we wish for our sons. Let's raise our Pinoy boys with high FQ now!

LET US SHARE:

I'm sure at this point, you already have a lot of thoughts about how you can raise your children to be financially intelligent. You may want to share them. Please post your comments and stories below.

Hi Joy. I'm glad you used the word "budget" instead of saying "we don't have money." This made your son aware at an early age that he can exercise decision making on purchases - that even if he has the money, he can opt not to buy it for a valid reason. So did you "buy him a budget?" :)

By the way, our son "Migu" is now 15, and still very much "Budget" conscious.

i remember we exposed our eldest son "Migu" to the word "BUDGET" when he was barely 3 y.o. Everytime he points to a quite expensive toy in the mall, we often tell him,"Lets see if we have the budget". Until one time, he commented, "Why dont we just buy a BUDGET Mom?"
