The travails of setting up my son's investment account
“We will need you and your wife to come in to the office and sign those forms in front of us.” Those were the dreaded words I heard this past week as I spoke to the customer relationship manager at the investment firm where we’ve set up my younger son’s securities account. When I asked what hours they were open, the answer was Monday-Friday from 9-5. Of course, these are just those times when normal people are busy working and when my son is at school and after-school activities. How frustrating!!!

Reading, learning and thinking are core investing skills
Welcome to the latest post in my journey to build financial literacy for young adults. As mentioned in my previous post, I had originally planned to write about the travails we’ve had in setting up the securities for account my younger son. Unfortunately, we still haven’t been able to complete the setup as we’ve had a number of technical issues. Once the account is actually set up, I’ll write about it – it’s definitely taken a lot longer with many more hiccups than I had anticipated. For today’s post, though, I’d like to share with you the lessons I’m trying to teach my sons about reading, learning and thinking as a core investing skill.

Why and how to save
“Are you serious??? Have you actually been saving for my college since I was born? Is that why you don’t have the latest iPhone and fancy cars? I can’t believe that you and Mummy have enjoyed your life a lot less than you could have since I was a baby to save for college!”
