7．The problem of debt（债务） among teenagers in western countries is becoming worse and worse．Aren't they following their parents'advice，or aren't the parents teaching their children about money？Here is some advice that children as young as eight or nine can understand．
First of all，you should learn to save before you buy．When you receive money，you should save some of it，maybe 30%．After this，spend what you want．Secondly，you'd better watch your money．Don't trust other people with it．Don't lend money and don't try to buy friends．If friends want your money，they aren't real friends．Another piece of advice is to buy only what you can afford．If that MP5 player or iPhone costs more than you have，then you don't need it．Don't borrow money for it，either．If you really want something，you can save for it．Saving teaches discipline（自律）．Also，after you have saved up enough money，you may realize you don't really want it after all．Finally，you are supposed not to compare what you have with what your friends have．That expensive iPad of your friend may be borrowed or paid for with borrowed money．
There is an old saying："Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day．Teach a person how to fish，and he will eat for the rest of his life．"This is also true when we teach our children about money．Don't buy everything your children want．If you teach them good habits，they will always look after their money．
