Teaching a child to save and invest

In today's Singapore of the Twenty-first century, Families and individuals alike are becoming increasingly affluent. Parents of today can afford the best Supertutors on the market for their little ones and they also can give their children the very best that life has to offer. Affluent parents want the very best for their children and a growing number are sending their children for holiday workshops which focus on Saving and Investing for children and how to run a mini business.

There are some techniques that Affluent parents have learnt that works very well in training their young ones into becoming upcoming Entrepreneurs and even investors. While other kids are taking a daily or weekly "Allowance" from their father, Mr Chia an Affluent investor who owns land holdings around Asia and also the father of two boys aged 8 and 11 gives them each a "salary". The boys are given a "job" which involves activities like daily monitoring of the stock prices for their "Boss" Dad and alerting him when prices fall below or exceed a certain price.  They are also tasked in planning the family's budget and receive "Bonuses" and " Commissions" for outstanding task completion which results in the family making a Profit.

Mr Chia explains with a chuckle that this was how his own father had raised him and this simple system not only creates a keen motivation in his sons to succeed, the boys also learn very early on that there is no free lunch on this earth and that they can only have as much as their own performance allows. This has created in his boys a deep sense of self motivation to succeed as the boys realise that the better their performance and the more responsibilities they incur should Dad "Promote" them, the higher their "Salaries".

Already his elder son, Jian Yuan runs an online store, breeds and sells hamsters to pet stores and have invested some of his own savings into local stocks using his dad's account. He owns blue chip counters like SingTel, Keppel Corporation and Sembawang Industries.  Jian Yuan explains that investing in Blue Chip stocks is like buying a Magic wallet. This wallet he explains, produces a Magical coin or dividend every year which adds to his "income" and enables him a higher quality of life as he escalates his networth by reinvesting his "Wealth".

When asked if Mr Chia feared if his Sons may make a mistake and lose all their savings, he grinned and told us that it would be the best if mistakes are made when his sons were young. "Mistakes tend to be less expensive and besides they will have drawn a huge lesson and conclusion from every mistake enabling them to increase their knowledge about investments."  Mr Chia pointed out, " Besides at this stage all they have is their own Ang Pow money and a few years of "Salary", imagine being 60 and losing all you have?"

Experts agree that investing and saving is best started and cultivated when young. Teachers we interviewed explain that early childhood is the best time for parents to create winning habits in their little ones by making the task they want to teach as fun as possible. Perhaps that the very reason, Mr Chia told us Successful people don't stress themselves over money but rather treated life as a fun game of Monopoly.

The above is written by a local writer Alvin who has written numerous articles for children magazines and educational features. He operates various tuition centres around Singapore and teaches children the skills to overcome challenges in school. He can be reached at magikmansg@gmail.com

The final question

​William Quek have had a long life. He was 92.
 
Over the last few years it was long and painful. He had spent so much of his waking hours remembering his childhood and the decades that he considered himself a young man. He was so old now that even the years when he was between fifty and sixty was perceived as his younger years. His life although long was not without pain and the share of emotional burdens that afflicts all humans. “Grief affects us all”, his therapist told him though after his wife left him when he was in his 70s when she died due to cancer.
 
During those years after losing his companion of more than sixty year he realized that in death a person you love does not leave you all at once. In his case it took twelve long years. Coming home to an empty house and not having the same person you have loved and whom you have received tender loving care for sixty years being there for you but yet her smell lingered. Her smell slowly left her clothing, her bed sheets and everything she ever touched. Tears streamed down his eyes when he remembered her laughter and chiding which he considered nagging.
 
His children were grown and were grandfathers themselves. They lived in Canada. After he became bed ridden four years back he found himself punching their numbers on his phone and hanging up. He had been a busy man in his youth and he had worked and put everything that didn’t matter over the people that meant the most to him, His own Children. He would have nothing to speak to them besides the weather. So this is what it was like to lose touch with his children. He grimaced and cried bitterly. Years of pent up pain poured down his cheeks as he wept without shame. He knew that for all the money he accumulated nothing could follow him into the next life.

​That very night William Quek had a massive heart attack which ended his mortal life on earth.

 
Darkness. The place he was in was freezing and he knew he was in a place where the suns heat never touches. “William?”, a voice shot out from the darkness and before him he was a creature brighter than a thousand suns. “Are you God?”, William asked. He was in awe for before him stood the most beautiful creature. It was so beautiful that words alone cannot describe its splendour.
 
“Yes, you can call me God”, the creature asked.
 
“So…whats next? Do I get to heaven?”, William Ventured to ask. As he asked this question he realized the body he was in was a body in its youth. Gone were the wasted bony arms and legs. Gone were the wrinkled face and body.
“No. Heaven is not a place for you yet. One day perhaps but not yet. You will be sent back to earth.” The voice told him in a tone that was so smooth and reassuring that he felt he could just listen to it forever. The years of pain and misery had lifted off his chest and in it replaced a huge longing to just fall down and worship this God.
 
“Then if it not heaven what will become of me?” William ventured to ask.
“Well William, You will be reincarnated. I am sending you back to 5th Century England where you will live your life as a royal Celtic princess.”, God casually told William as he led him gently to a huge ring which radiated pinkish light.
“Will i remember anything? When can I stay here forever with you? Time has no meaning in this place? Why do I have to be a girl? Can I be a boy?”, William blurted out. He had a million questions running through his soulish mind.    
“Yes one day you can stay here forever but not today. You will remember nothing of your previous lives or our conversation unfortunately. Time is nothing but an illusion. Your scientist thinks they may have already figured out that all time is connected in just Space Time. Past, present and future exist in harmony with each other. In case you have not figured out you are the man that I created in my image. You will live out each of all the billions of lives in every human on earth. At the end you will become like me.” God spoke bluntly while William hung on every word that was mentioned. A series of buttons were pressed and the ring now radiated orange.
“You mean I am also Stalin the man who killed millions?” William ventured to ask.
“Yes and you are also the millions of men that were killed by him. Each time you did something good, you were doing the good to yourself and each act of cruelty and sin was also done to yourself.” God now guided William to stand in the middle of the ring.
“Wait before I leave this place I have one last question. Who is Satan and is there others like you?” William blurted out in panic thinking that any moment he would be sent back to earth.
God smiled, pressed two more buttons and told William, “Satan too has many names and yes there are so many others like myself. One day you too would join me at my right hand. All your questions would be answered then. We shall meet again William.” The ring now suddenly turned bright yellow and William who was so intently staring at all the proceedings ceased to exist.
 
The year was 481A.D. A baby’s cry emitted from deep inside the recesses of Bamburg Castle. Baby Morgana was comforted and cuddled by her elder brother, Master Arthur. He was ten this year and he had been excitedly waiting to see his sister and welcome her into his world. His father Uther Pendragon had given permission that on this date there was no need for Arthur to learn sword practice or perform any studies under his tutors.                                                                                                                                                ​
