Debt management may be better ‘if young educated about finance’
Written by Amelia Gordon on September 26, 2011 – 1:49 amYoung people will handle money better in their student days and could avoid debt management issues if they are educated about the subject in their teens, an expert has said.
Managing director of Yvonne Goodwin Wealth Management Ltd Yvonne Goodwin said the time for parents to teach their children is from the age of 15 or 16, when they get their national insurance cards and can have Saturday jobs.
Using this money to develop savings and spending strategies and set budgets can help prepare for the future, Ms Goodwin suggested, stating: “This is real money that has been hard earned and hard saved and usually gives more of an incentive to spend it wisely.”
The expert advised against trying to tell new students how to manage money as they are starting term, since this is when they are “too excited” to pay attention.
Young people may encounter more issues of debt in the next few years as tuition fees rise, with some facing charges of as much as £9,000 a year.
Labour Party leader Ed Miliband said in a BBC TV interview that his party will cap these at £6,000 if it regains power in 2015.
