Laying a strong foundation for the building is important, to make it last for years. Similarly, to achieve financial independence, it is necessary to give financial literacy to children from a young age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, what exactly is financial literacy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-financial-literacy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Financial_literacy\"><\/span>Financial literacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-6.png\" alt=\"financial literacy\" class=\"wp-image-694\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover;width:668px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-6-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-6-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-6-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-6.png 1380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial literacy is understanding the behaviour and working of money to make sound financial decisions like budgeting, asset building, loan financing and debt repayment. Having financial knowledge helps a person to feel empowered. Moreover, people with better financial education are less likely to be financially vulnerable in future. According to research in India, only 27% of the people are financially literate. It means only 1 out of 5 Indians are capable of making their crucial money decisions by themselves. The numbers are bizarre because dealing with money is one of the most customary aspects of human well-being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, it is the responsibility of the parents to instil this basic human understanding in their children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-build-a-strong-financial-foundation\">Why Build a Strong Financial Foundation?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To build a strong financial foundation, children should be made familiar with basic concepts like saving and investing from a young age.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saving is that part of your income that is left, after spending upon your consumption. Any person who has just started earning spends a prominent chunk of their income on consumption and saves little to no amount.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But, as they grow professionally, they start saving more for their future &amp; the people dependent on them. Saving helps to build a cushion to rely on during uncertain times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investing is putting your money to work. Heard this famous quote, \u201cRich doesn&#8217;t work for Money, Money works for them\u201d Weird right? But true.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;By putting your money into Assets, you can make your money work for you even when you are not working. For example, investing in real estate could earn you a rental income and give you capital appreciation in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents should focus on securing their children&#8217;s future financially but also focus on building and developing their characters. So that, in case of future uncertainties, they can fight through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preparing-for-future-financial-challenges\">Preparing for Future Financial Challenges<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of the people feel anxious when asked about their financial situations. As we grew, we realised that we weren&#8217;t ever, taught about financial education in our schools or colleges on which we\u2019re supposed to make real-life decisions. How many of you have learned about finances in your schools or colleges?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could confidently say that none. Our educational curriculum was never designed in a way to help us with our day-to-day problems. Most adults even today, don&#8217;t even know that there are options other than FD and mutual funds to invest in the markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing your children with early financial knowledge could help them to have a better future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-introducing-financial-concepts-to-children-as-they-grow\">Introducing Financial Concepts to Children As They Grow<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>First, introduce them to the notion of money at a young age.
