We have a saying - Pandit putra parama suntha..meaning the child of a knowledgeable person is likely to be ignoramous. Reverse holds good too. Evil grin.

I was bad with money when I was young, later I developed a habit to save until I also realized and learned that although saving is good, a certain portion of savings should also be invested.

I think we learn over a period. But I also feel it needs to be taught in school. For me history is not as important as money management as a subject in school. What do you think? Why should we not understand such things and right and wrong so that we have fewer cases in courts.

@vandana7 since financial literacy is not being taught in school, it's up to us to learn it via good books like The richest man in Babylon or Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Our present educational system veers more towards study hard, get a good job and retire early rather than save, put up your own business, be innovative and make sound investments. I think big companies like it that way so they would have an endless supply of workers to make them earn more and get bigger instead of having competition

Yes alone savings isn't good and it should be invested in a way suitable for us.

But at least I do have savings. I think it's really important to have savings. You'll never know when your life will take turn for the worse.

I like to think that I am. I always make sure I have a little bit in my bank account each month, just for those in-case moments. It's not as much as I should have, but it's enough for groceries at the store or something like that.

There are times when I overspend and I regret it. However, I try to make wise decisions with my purchases and with my savings too. It's been harder for me to do this lately.
