Education the best way to save!

Before we got married, we thought of having four children – two girls and two boys. Those were the days. Now that times are getting tougher, we planned of having at the most two kids but the heaven didn’t agree and gave us another child. Today, many would agree with me that having two children is more than enough in raising a family. Financially speaking, it is impractical to raise more than two because of the current worldwide economic situation that we are experiencing.

As parents we would want to give all the best to our children and sometimes the best is also tantamount to being financially well-off. Giving your children quality time is never a question in raising a happy and successful kid. However, we also have to be reminded that money is as important in providing them their basic needs such as shelter, clothing, food, water and a healthy and safe environment.

How do we secure their future? The only way to do this is to save. Saving and budgeting your expenses may come in different forms. My husband and I have agreed to do something about our lives with less complication and stress. First, we talk about what things are to be prioritized so that we will be guided by these priorities. Second, we allot something for the “just-in-case-of-emergencies-expenses”. Third, we educate our children and household helpers on how to save on electric and water expenses. Information campaign in the family is also big help in trying to educate and make others aware of how they can contribute in saving money. As an example, you tell them that there should be a schedule in the household chores to save the electricity and water meter running.
