Fields, In Red, In Blue
I had the sudden urge to know if, at 8, she knows what money is all about.
So I called my daughter, who was busy playing, and asked her: C, what is money? Eyebrows going up, eyes slightly questioning (as if saying, now where is mom going with this), she says, tongue in cheek, voice bored, “It has a lot of numbers and signs on it.” Okay (sounds about right). I made a follow up question: C, do you know how you can make lots of money? Grinning, she answered, her voice lilting and confident, “I can draw it.”
Obviously, I have to teach her about money. And soon.
Interestingly, when Robert Kiyosaki was 9, he had the same idea.
