ASSETS BUY LUXURIES: The power of focus。
A friends child has been developing a nasty habit of burning a hole in his pocket。
Just 16; he naturally wanted his own car。
The excuse; 〃All his friends parents gave their kids cars。
〃 The child wanted to go into|
his savings and use it for a down payment。
That was when his father called me。
〃Do you think I should let him do it; or should I just do as other parents do and just buy him a car?〃
To which I answered。
〃It might relieve the pressure in the short term; but what have you taught him in the long term? Can you use this desire to own a car and inspire your son to learn something?〃 Suddenly the lights went on; and he hurried home。
Two months later I ran into my friend again。
〃Does your son have his new car?〃 I asked。
〃No; he doesnt。
But I went and handed him 3;000 for the car。
I told him to use my money instead of his college money。
〃 〃Well; thats generous of you;〃 I said。
〃Not really。
The money came with a hitch。
I took your advice of using his strong desire to buy a car and use that energy so he could learn something。
〃
〃So what was the hitch?〃 I asked。
〃Well; first we broke out your game again; CASHFLOW。
We played it and had a long discussion about the wise use of money。
I then gave him a subscription to the Wall Street Journal; and a few books on the stock market。
〃
〃Then what?〃 I asked。
〃What was the catch?〃
〃I told him the 3;000 was his; but he could not directly buy a car with it。
He could use it to buy and sell stocks; find his own stockbroker; and once he had made 6;000 with the 3;000; the money would be his for the car; and the 3;000 would go into his college fund。
