《How to get rich》004----教会孩子关于钱的价值

《teach your children the value of a dollar》这一章里，特朗普讲了关于儿童理财知识。
作为一个安兰德的信徒，我觉得特朗普是安兰德小说人物的现实版，热爱赚钱，热爱做生意，有着节俭的一面。
我总结了一些句子，可以学习一下。（为了加深记忆，我是打字上去的，并非复制。）

My kids know the value of money from examples. They see how hard I work. I don't talk about it with them because I don't have to- they have eyes.
我的孩子们从例子中知道钱的价值。
他们看到我工作有多努力。
我不用和他们谈论这些，因为我不需要--他们有眼睛。

They see the way I live. I turn off the lights whenever I leave the office.

If they enter the world without financial knowledge, they will have a much harder go of it. Make sure you let them in on your way of thinking about money--how you manage expenses, how you save ,where you invest.
如果他们在没有金融知识的情况下进入这个世界，他们就会更加艰难。
确保你让他们用你思考的方式去看待钱--你如何管理花费，你如果存钱，你如何投资。

Let them know that having money isn’t necessarily a sign of greed. It’s an important element for survival. Just getting a first apartment can be a lesson for your kids: They suddenly learn about security deposits! Equip them for life as best you can. Buy them a subscription to Money or some other personal-finance magazine. Give them incentives for saving their allowance. If they don’t learn about money from you, who’s going to teach them?
让他们知道有钱并不是贪婪的表现。
这是生存的重要元素。
用如何得到第一间公寓作为孩子们的一堂课：他们会突然学到关于保证金这个概念。
尽力为他们的生活提供装备。
为他们订购《money》和其他个人财务杂志。
奖励他们去储蓄零花钱。
如果他们不能从你这学习钱的知识，谁还会教他们？
