Warren Buffett is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in the United States. In the world of investing, he is considered a famous figure. As of December 2020, he has a net worth of over 85.6 billion USD, which puts him in the top five list of the wealthiest people.
Teaching your kids about money can be an intimidating task. But grasp a tip or two from Buffett, and maybe it might change your perspective on that. Take it from the man himself on five ways to teach your children about money.
#1: Start early

Habits are built over time, and overnight efforts are risky. If you want your little ones to grow up with practical financial skills they can demonstrate and pass on to the next generation, start now.
“Sometimes parents wait until their kids are in their teens before they start talking about managing money — when they could be starting when their kids are in preschool,” Buffett told CNBC.
Now, at this point, we see some raised eyebrows over the screen. Is it possible to teach a preschooler about financial literacy? Yes if you’re not referring to the ever-complicated stock market.
As you spend time with your children shopping and dining out, use opportunities to explain that tapping a card to make payment is not as simple as it seems. To do so, clarify that it takes time and effort to earn money and that they should not spend as they please.
#2: Educate on the value of saving

After getting a headstart on the topic of money, you want to enlighten your kids on the value of saving. Buffett says that even saving a little bit of money regularly pays off. When it comes to money, even the cents count.
“Instead of spending money on a soda, which you don’t really need, put it in savings, and it will make even more money for you by earning interest.”
But lest you become naggy and fill your children with empty words, put it to action. You can open a child’s savings account and bring your kid along to the bank for their first deposit. Think of it as a field trip to teach them on the value of saving and don’t underestimate the impact it can have in the long run.
#3: Walk the talk

You can continue to blabber on about money-related topics, but if your daily actions show otherwise, it’s going to be just an irony. Worse still, it could confuse the little ones.
Buffett credits his father as a source of inspiration for building the right habits. “He was my hero when I was six, and he is still my hero now. He is an inspiration to me in every way. What I learned at an early age from him was to have the right habits early,” he stated in an interview with CNBC.
Children pick up habits from the things they see, and that’s why you want to walk the talk in your family’s financial decisions. You don’t have to be an expert investor to do so. Just keep yourself in check, which includes clearing credit card debts you’ve accumulated over time.
#4: Identify needs from wants

Truth be told, even adults struggle with separating needs from wants. Just look at the number of purchases you’ve made from 9.9, 10.10, 11.11, and 12.12. If you don’t want your children to pick up the habits, model and reveal to them the significant difference between needs and wants.
Buffett suggests having your kids create a list of 5 or 10 things they would like to purchase. Then, go through the list with them and label each item as a need or want. Don’t forget to explain why.
As you do your online shopping, seat your child beside you and show them that even when buying a necessary item, it’s essential to compare prices. Different sellers can price the same or similar product at varying prices, so searching for the most affordable piece is also a smart skill to acquire.
#5: Power-up their entrepreneurship

Did you know that when Buffett was just six years old, he earned his first few cents selling sticks of gum in the neighbourhood? Wanting to tap onto a better money-making opportunity, he moved on to selling Coke cans at a higher price than he bought it.
Asian parents are famed for being a wet blanket, and you don’t want to be one to your kid. Instead, encourage them to see money-making opportunities now can go a long way to fuel their entrepreneurial spirit down the road. Click through the link if you want to learn more on how to teach your kid to think like an entrepreneur.
As Don Bossi, former president of FIRST, a nonprofit organisation that helps young people foster innovations in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) rightly assumes, “Kids are just a sponge.” Take time to teach and guide them about money, and they will soak up the right moves to face adulting.
We trust that you’ve had a well-rested weekend. For some, it might be a busy one since we’re just less than two weeks to Christmas! Good times or bad times, there’s power in the season of giving so we hope you’ve gotten your Christmas gifting plans all sorted out.
Now, back to serious business. Yes, it’s the most dreaded Monday, and we’ve new additions to our usual career-related tips. Job seekers who have yet to score yourself an interview despite the number of resume sent-outs, the problem might be due to some resume blunders you’re making.
Read on to find out how you can avoid these four resume mistakes to score yourself an interview soon.
#1: Placing too much focus on the design
Image Credits: business.tutsplus.com
If you’re a designer and applying for a position in the creative industry, probably it would make sense for you to want to spend some time on the visual outlook of your resume. But the main point here is that some people tend to overdo it.
You’ve heard the saying, “less is more”, and in this context, it accurately sums up what you should do. Think about the functionality of your resume, including the audience and purpose. Busy recruiters do not have all the time in the world to admire your stylish resume.
Instead, it would be best if you depicted your resume in a way that helps the hiring manager:
Read with ease
Sift out your skills and suitability
Apply your in-demand skills to the job vacancy
A border design and some coloured text may appear lovely in your eyes, but it may not be for the head hunter looking at tons of resumes a day to pick out the right candidates with crucial competencies.
#2: Having chunks of lengthy texts

Even if we do not apply this mistake in this particular context, having vast chunks of unbroken texts can cause a headache for any modern readers out there.
To put yourself in the shoes of an HR personnel, think back on the amount of content you mindlessly scroll through your social media feed daily. Recall on what caught your attention and what did not. Even a well-written article can have a low readership count purely because of its formatting.
To assist the recruiter in shortlisting yours among the sea of resumes out there, breaking up texts into proper paragraphs and being fully aware of run-on sentences without punctuations can help. If it makes sense, use bullet points to grab the reader’s attention at first glance.
Also, section the content into headings and subheadings and bold them where necessary. This is to allow the hiring manager to locate essential information effortlessly.
#3: Missing out on brief role descriptions
Image Credits: Prime Advice
Wanting to fit all your achievements in a one- or two-page word document is understandable. While some things like designs are better left as simple, an outline for your role descriptions is necessary.
Think of it as a summary section to give the recruiter some background on these:
Who you’ve worked for
Nature of the said business
Where you fit into the organisation
Those who have worked for widely known global brands may not have to explain the nature of the business, but it’s still important to include some pointers about your department and your contributions to the company’s success.
#4: Not including facts and figures
Image Credits: iHire
One massive takeaway I’ve had while doing marketing is that numbers matter. Putting this lesson to practical use, it’s the same as trying to market yourself to land an interview with the HR department. As such, don’t leave out facts and figures.
To prove your worth, you want to use some numbers to convey the scale of your impact. Those who’ve led departments before, don’t just stop at “managed a team”. Insert the relevant numbers on the size of your team, the locations they cover, and clients or customers under their servicing.
This is especially useful if you’ve led massive teams across several locations and want to transfer this experience to a regional management position you’re applying for. With that said, even penning down that if you’ve led a small group of five can open doors and put you at the forefront compared to applicants who’ve no such experiences.
Spending some quality time to right the common resume mistakes pointed out in this article could lead to better results in your job applications. If you want the right response from your potential employers, then make sure you have a resume powerful enough to assist you. The last thing you want is to have a substandard resume as a stumbling block to your job search success.
It is Christmastime and people are more eager to purchase gifts that have lasting value. For some people, that timeless gift often turns out to be an heirloom piece of jewelry. Grandparents often pass down their jewelry in the hopes that their grandchildren can “sell it one day” when the need arises. I cannot say that it has not crossed my mind. Then again, I find it difficult to sell the ring that my late grandparents have given me.
Buying an original piece of jewelry with a rich history from a family member or a friend can be the middle ground when it comes to heirloom pieces. Nonetheless, jewelry and gold can be a wise investment.
BUY SOMETHING TIMELESS
If you are going to buy jewelry as an investment, ensure that it is something you enjoy keeping and wearing. I recently bought a Nina Ricci necklace, which I plan to pass down to my future daughter. It is delicate, romantic, and simple. She may not be able to sell it, but it can be a part of her beautiful collection.
Avoid overpaying for a piece of jewelry as commissions and fees can be high. It will be difficult for you to break-even, if that happens.
CONSIDER THE VALUE AND PRICE
There are companies willing to buy back your jewelry at the real-time value, less its 10% buyback fee as they will melt it and transform it into a new jewelry. Other companies are willing to offer a price close to the value of the pure metal in your jewelry. Do your research.
There are laws regulating the purity stamp on the metal. It is best to get an appraisal from a reputable jeweler to examine the quality and the design of your gems and precious metals.
ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSITIVE HISTORICAL TREND
Unlike coins and paper currency, gold has managed to increase its value over time. Its price has consistently risen every year since 2001. While gold prices do not shoot up dramatically, the general trends remains to be upward. Hence, have a long-term investment mindset.
KNOW THAT PRICES CAN BE VOLATILE
Much like any other investments, the jewelry’s value can fluctuate wildly. The most obvious difference between a pair of gold earrings and gold bullion is that you cannot wear the latter. Treating jewelry as an investment can get tricky. Profits on the sale of gold and jewelry are taxed.
You might pay a premium for buying jewelry made of pure gold. You see, some buyers prefer if they can wear their gold.
DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO
The key to diversification is to find investments that do not closely match each other. History has proven that gold is negatively correlated with stocks and other investment instruments. For instance, stocks boomed in the 1990s, but gold faltered. In 2008, investors migrated to gold while the stocks dropped substantially in value.

Proper diversification entails combining stocks, bonds, golds, jewelry, and other assets. Producing a diverse portfolio can reduce the overall volatility and risks.
