I have seen some family members of mine struggling massively with debt recently. They asked me for advice and I was shocked at their lack of knowledge regarding things like mortgages even though they are in their late 30's. Also just the way they carry on spending despite their issues. I am starting to see similar issues with their children and how they value money. They want their parents to spend a fortune on clothes despite one of them who is 18 refusing to get a job.
Anyway it's not my business but It's made me think of how I need to educate my DC regarding money. I thought a lot of it was common sense but I am not so sure. Has anyone got any tips/advice? I was thinking of getting them to occasionally earn their pocket money/earn extra or getting them to save abit themselves when they want something expensive.
