RICH DAD, POOR SON Poverty is the easiest thing to inherit a child When I say that the easiest thing for a father to inherit their children is his poorness, I do not refer to his material possessions, valuable objects or money in any of its presentations. I refer to the way in which us fathers -conscious or unconsciously- inherit our good and bad habits to our children, and that they will be used as an example to build up their growth and development. Our words must be consistent with our actions, our children's mind won't remember or give any importance to the million of advices we give them, if they're not coupled with our actions. Teaching them a good financial education is the basis of their economic success. From a very young age, they must know how to add and generate and not to subtract. It is not enough to inherit an incredible yacht and a beautiful mansion in the beach, if you never showed your children how to fish. It is enough to invest a little time effort and dedication in showing them how to fish, for them to be able to buy their own yacht and mansion in a little time. A nice read to help you think if you're well-educating your children.
