Students in some countries leave school without good understanding of how to manage their money. What do you think are the reasons? What are the solutions to this problem？
I think the principal reason behind this is the aim of education now critically digresses from the well-rounded development of students. Performance in areas aside from one’s major is drastically undervalued, therefore students infuse most of their vigor into endless coursework. There are significant elements of life that are neglected as well, such as the art to maintain long-term relations, the observation and management of one’s subliminal feelings, etc. Uncatchable speed the society progresses and ever-rising threshold of professional tracks make the academic pressure extremely high and render remainded aspects of life trivial and trifling.
And when it comes to money management, many view it only as a family education issue, as well as etiquette and cuisine. It has been a prevailing opinion that the way one allocate his/her money is a honest reflection of the personality. Being radical or conservative is a matter of inclination, and does not have something to do with financial techniques for the majority. As a consequence, people attribute financial situations to temperament rather than the grasp of financial controlling theories.
The solutions I may propose for the first reason discussed above is that we should adopt a panoramic view when estimating our lives. We should take stock of our situations every now and then rather than marching blindly on the path our parents set for us hoping for the best. Economic crisis at the individual level are likely lurking at the corner, and we definitely want to preclude that from happening. Secondly, I believe that the fashion of money management stems mainly from insight into the market. The deeper you dip, the less likely you are going to be fooled by some tempting offer to invest for you. Everyone can be enchanted by the idea of overnight fortune, regardless of their degrees of discretion.

August 30, 2021 at 7:53 amTo begin with, the evaluation system of students has evolved to a lopsided monster, on the one hand, it demands a high level of academic performance, on the other hand, it belittles anything that does not appear on transcriptions. There are significant elements of life that are neglected as well, such as the art to maintain long-term relations, the management of one’s subliminal feelings, etc. Uncatchable speed the society hurtles forward and ever-rising bar of professional tracks make the academic pressure extremely high and render remaining aspects of life trivial and trifling.
And when it comes to money management, many view it only as a reflection of the personality, rather than a technique that takes training. Or some may argue that the way one allocated his/her money is just another inclination inherited from one’s family. Both perspectives underestimate the importance of money management education. And money management is not an isolated area, it binds tightly with other life essentials, such as knowledge of law and politics, career trajectories choice, etc. Those, as well as scientific common sense, should be conveyed by some professionals at an early stage in life.
The solution I may propose for the first reason discussed above is that we should adopt a panoramic view when estimating our lives. We should take stock of our situations not only by grades but by the degree we take control of our lives. Lopsided focus results in neglect of the whole picture. Secondly, I believe that money management should not be reduced to a mere inclination decided by personality, and knowledge should be passed on in classes. And a practical way to set a course on not only financial skills but also other must-knows that contribute to becoming a responsible adult.

September 12, 2021 at 3:26 pmIncapacity of money management is just amid the basic skills school graduates are missing. It is amid far more other incapacities that may lead to a person’s long-term failure, both in life and career. And to my humble opinion, this prevailing problem is, to a great extent, due to both the lopsided education system and the overprotective parents.
Firstly, schools are aiming at a way too specific target, which is academic achievement. Unarguably, the mission of school is to pass on fruits of human wisdom rather than everyday tips, but the one-dimensional pursuit tends to neglect other aspects in life. Students have to mold themselves through the slot called college entrance and develop habitual tastes only for textbook knowledge.
Secondly, according to a study, a significant amount of parents give out allowances on a weekly basis because “children spend money irresponsibly”. And this appears problematic to me because parents are acting like control freaks. What they are doing is indeed keep kids from minor financial failures. Painful lessons are indispensable when it comes to money management. Children are more likely to suffer from bankruptcy afterwards if the lesson was not offered at an early stage.
To create school graduates with adequate knowledge in money management and other life-essential skills, we shall reshape our mindset on teenager education. The youth of today need not just scientific literacy. While being simply asked to reach high and dream big, they are actually in desperate need of preparation for adulthood. In school, it would be awesome if bank clerks can be invited and give lectures on financial must-knows. At home, parents should carry out some experiments on children’s attitude towards money, so they can work on risky signs their children financially exhibit.
