advice to children

If you are a parent you will probably understand how hard we try to teach our children about many things in life. So this week I will pass on to you 10 advices that I have built up over the years

1. Tattoos are not cool – in time to come they will agree you.
2. That mate that borrows money from you – will not give it back. He may the initial one but sooner or later you will be left with a debt and a mate that you no longer speak to.
3. Listen to old people - it is so much easier to learn from someone’s mistakes than keep making your own.
4. Bad credit will come back and bite you. Pay your accounts on time – if you cant afford it – don’t ignore it. Young people usually have problems with their mobile phone bills and older people usually get themselves into trouble with debts and bang! Bankruptcy. Don’t think that going bankrupt is the easy solution – it is not.
5. The Joneses next door are possible broke.
6. In your 20s you learn and in your 30s you earn. How many times have I told our oldest not to let the good times continue in your 30s.
7. Buy the cheapest car your ego can afford – if you are concerned about impressing girls you will be better off using the money for a nice home then a nice car. Girls like cars – women like homes.
8. Be a good person inside - more important than a nice looking car or nice fitting clothes.
9. And finally – be good to your parents. You don’t want to give them a reason to bequest their whole estate to the “lost dogs home”
10. Move out of Home – I am only joking about this one – but not a bad thought. Eh?

I am happy to hear any other advices that YOU may have given your children that it is not on this list.
