How to teach son about investing?
I read it’s very hard to break from one class to another, if not almost impossible. For example, my dad was not college educated and knew little about investing. Same with his dad, and his dad before him.
Other kids with white collar fathers benefited from what the discussed at the dinner table. They say what you talk about at the dinner table sets the course.
I know nothing about investing and my net worth shows it. I have to work til I drop.
I want my son to learn a skill that will be in demand (robotics or other tech skill) but equally about investing.
In terms of college, would that be studying “finance” or “business” or ???
I am even considering setting up an e-trade account and with each of us putting aside $500 and just going at it.
Any advice? How can he learn what dad doesn’t know?
