Educating Young America About Personal Finance- Lessons From Asia

Following the economic recession that sent tremors across the world, renowned economists have been deliberating on finding the chief factors that led to this adverse economic scenario. According to well known social scientists and economists the financial crisis which showed its worst signs in the United States of America has been a result of prolonged negligence and mismanagement. It has been observed that Americans to a large extent lack the financial management skills that are possessed by young and educated Asians. This probably explains why the financial turmoil did not have any significant impact on the Indian and Chinese economies which have remained largely insulated from the effects of the credit crunch.
There are several reasons behind the stability shown by the upcoming Asian superpowers in recent times. Culturally speaking, Asians have strong family values which helps them to save money. In the US however, most teenagers leave home and start living alone by the time they are 17. In addition, most teenagers after leaving home drop out of college and start working part time. This prevents them from realising the potential problems they could be facing after a few years. Moreover, the availability of quick credit also has a negative impact on young Americans who have limited knowledge about ways in which money can be saved to make the future more secure.

If You Crave My Help Regarding Saving Money Then I Suggest You Make It Fun To Inspire You To Do It

When it comes to help in saving money my suggestion is to make it fun. I know that even the idea of having to live cheaply brings to mind disgust to most people. But for those of us that have gone thru the turmoil and are forced to live frugally often times develop a peculiarly zealous approach to frugal ideas. Doesn't matter how much it amounts to but I for example actually get excited by the idea of saving money. Now I didn't grow up in particularly poor family but we didn't go on vacations ten times a year either. More like the Holiday in or maybe a Howard Johnsons by some cruddy beach in Kissimme and the idea of being frugal to a kid really doesnt even have a place in its vocabulary. Saving money never appealed to me, why? I like to spend dummy just like the rest of you. Who doesn't?
Too many people think that being cheap is for those without money but saving moneyis where its at. Why not go and ask Warren Buffet who is still living in the same house he grew up in and he's like 100 years old and one of the richest men on the planet. I like to have what I want when I want it and unfortunately I have to save for that to happen.
So....I have to stop buying and using things I really don't want or need. Makes sense right? So I set goalsand to take action.
I became fixated on making it a game I play against myself. Shut the lights off when I leave the room. Drive an extra tenth of a mile to pay 10 cents a gallon less. Stop buying Kraft cheese in a can and pepperoni and you know what my scale thanked me! LOL And I did with very little effort. I just clean house because when it comes down to it If I don't make the conscious effort who will? I am the only one with my hand in my wallet( with the exception of my wife-grin). It is something that has to be done. You can either make it a good experience or a bad one. I can tell you this that if you have the wrong attitude you will absolutely fail. Living on the cheap, being frugal or miserly is how you do it. It is a challenge to say the least but what I do is leave any cash I have at home and only use the debit card and bag my lunch like a 3rd grader but it pays off.
