More Than Just Finance

An article by Muzna Ansari:

Ultimately, the crisis we are engulfed in allows us to step back and critically re-assess the very society we live in. While parents may focus on teaching their offspring more effective ways to spend money during recessionary times, they also can think critically about training their children to lead lives of significance that extend beyond individual consumption. Philanthropy is a key part of such a re-assessment. Whether or not these young adults will one day inherit or earn considerable amounts of wealth, they can always make a difference in the world around them. Instilling financial principles is one part of a larger moral project: one where young adults learn that what they contribute will be far more important than what they consume.
