Money Essay

Some people say, “The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.” I think this means if you have much more money, your children won’t learn about money, they don’t know money doesn’t grow on trees. But if you don’t have more money, they will learn about money, they will know what are the money come from, how hard I work for money, they will totally realized there is no pain no gain. Therefore, I completely agree with this quote.

There are many reasons why I agree with this quote. First, my family is not very rich, but I got plenty of allowance before I came to the United States. I spent money like a water when I in China, I was shopping a lot. And, most of times I treated friends when we ate out. I never knew how hard my father worked to money. But since I came to the United States, I have to learn to how to working in a company and how to get along with others. Finally I realized there is no pain no gain, money doesn’t grow on trees, how hard we got money from work. Another reason, I’ve got into the habit of buying something that I don’t really need it. It’s become my second nature, it’s also hard for me to quit this kind of habit. Anyway, I will try my best to break this habit, and make a monthly budget.

In conclusion, I believe the “Easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any”. Trust me, I am a good example for this quote.
