Man teaches young boys in the neighbourhood an important lesson about money
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
A lesson in finances should begin at a young age...
In an ideal world we would love for our kids to be born knowing healthy money habits.
But as you know we do not live in an ideal world. So it is our responsibility to teach them the value in saving money.
Because ideally this sets the tone in grooming them into financially savvy adults.
One man who is trying to help his neighbourhood youngsters out by attempting to ignite a sense of business sense into their minds shared his story online.
After the boys first visited him and washed his car, they left with their earnings and spent it.
Then after two days they came back and he offered them some insightful and valuable advice and some pocket money.
He advised them to buy some materials so that they could start their own car washing business.

igsxmsxn: "I used to do this a couple years back but people would bring their cars onto my driveway, i’d wash, wax, polish and detail the interiors and people would be shocked that i did it so well. It’s good these kids are taking initiative instead of doing nothing, although id like to give them some equipment that’s not gonna destroy a cars paintwork 😂"
