Our parents are dear to us in many ways than one and am using this post as a dedication to a friend who is remembering his late parents by the weekend and to a dear cousin who just lost his. A loss like this is irreplaceable and many times unbearable.
Well, if not for maturity and the need for procreation, many would have loved to remain children while enjoying the love and comfort from their parents.
* Without much ado, how has your parent(s) or guardian or someone who looks after you, impacted your independence and financial life as an adult?
* If you had the power to reverse time, what would you have done differently with or for your parents or guardians?
Before we all started our careers in school, we must have started learning from home. Our parents are our best teachers, and they are the ones that started teaching us even before we realized. They have taught us much more than the school system has, and it's only when we realize some of these things we get to cherish them more than some of us probably do, especially when they are no more. But having said that, our parents have invested in us much more than we could imagine, and that is why our characters, the way we communicate, the way we interact, the way we behave is mostly influenced by our parents.
When a child experience a family with a poor mindset, they're likely also to grow in that line. But when you are grown in a knowledgeable and smart family, then you tend to have that smartness imbibed in you. This means the efforts of our parents are indescribable and we cannot repay them but to continue to make them happy and see reasons why they should be comfortable having us around them.
* Would you consider to live with your parents or guardian and grow your wealth or to go out there, live on your own terms and hope to make it despite the hardship?
Well, like we said earlier, the knowledge that we have today mostly has been imbibed in us by our parents, meaning the response that you will get on this question will be largely motivated by the kind of upbringing that the parents have over their children. And for me, I would say I've gotten a kind of training that seeks that I become independent as much as I can. I've also received a kind of training that has given me the toolkit to go out there and struggle, make ends meet, come back and inform them of the hurdles. There is no much difference made when you sit at home and make money, but there is a lot to be experienced when you go out there and make money.
However, like I said earlier, it all depends on the kind of situation or upbringing that the parents imbibed on the child. And for some family, it is more or less like you sitting at home with your parents and growing the financial assets together with them. For someone who was raised by a family of merchants and bourgeois, and this family is aristocratic in the society and have a lot of businesses under their conglomerate. Whilst you're growing, you've already been tailored towards handling one of those sister companies under their conglomerate. So in that regards, you already have that kind of upbringing to manage the family business and you staying back with your family and making that money doesn't limit you to the opportunities out there or within the industry. Or rather, it could even help you grow stronger and also learn faster under their tutelage, which could give you more confidence and result driven approach to your businesses.
