wisely.

and how to spend it properly will help them to have the

and

hence

, it will be easier to keep

this

in their adulthood.

For instance

and ask their parents to buy them whatever they need who will find it quite difficult to manage spending properly when they are adults. So, learning

skill at school makes it a fixed

habit

.

Secondly

, not only does learning the appropriate way of spending

money

makes it a

habit

in adulthood, but it

also

teaches children other valuable skills

such

For example
