Early investing usually means investing at a very young age.
Quite a few companies are now advocating to teaching kids investing.
Here's the message on early investing "they want you to receive"
-- your kids will appreciate the value of money. However, I believe
there are side effects to this philosophy.
Early investing could have
detrimental effects. Yes, it is true that above all else, "bread" is
one of the necessary component to living without "suffering."
A sufficient income can be
attained without investing. Even though financial security is very
unlikely to be ever achieve without investing, one can still live a
"happy" life.
Losing respect...
Early investing will teach kids
the wrong concept that people with the most money are "higher" than
others...
Not everyone values financial
security at the same level. There are many who would devote themselves
to meager income for a higher purpose -- research and development,
philosophy, services, you name it.
We believe in the importance of investing to everyone, but
not at the expense of our perspective on everything else.
There are just too many
examples today as we enter into a generation where disrespect will run
rampant.
So ...
Early investing has its clear pros and cons.
So it is up to you, the parents, to decide whether early
investing is suitable for your children.
