Money Tree Program - First Boot Camp in Singapore (1st & 2nd September 2007 held in M Hotel Singapore)My kids, Alfred & Grace Lee (standing next to Mr. Michael Reyes - Chief Training) of Money Tree's Boot Camp.
They were simply thrilled that they are going to this boot camp, as they have heard so much of it from me.
There's a high level of excitement that they'll be there in this first ever boot camp in Singapore. That they get this chance to be there, especially it's quite close to their examination, especially Grace (12 yrs) is taking her PSLE in 1 month's time.
We were hesitating if we should let Grace go for this boot camp, or to send her for the next one. But the idea of they being the first batch to attend, and it is my hope that she would go through this experience, that could help her broaden her perspective in life, not just academically, but socially, financially and to achieve a new "height" or "level" at this stage of her life. So that she's able to be prepared to take on life challenges in a whole new way.
Grace started slowly, not responding as readily as the rest of of the kids initially, but by the afternoon after the first day, I was told, that she was rushing to answer questions, in the hope of getting money each time a right answer were given.
Alfred (10 yrs) on the other hand is outgoing, active, but lacks confidence at times.
It is our wish that he'll pick up this life skills early in his life.
Alfred and Sher Mein are the two youngest in the group. But they're not about to lose out to the older kids. Especially when both of them are in the bidding war during the final event (secret - don't want to spoil your fun when you join in the program later.
Some were fined for being late for the start of any of the sessions.
And "world" news and events were announced throughout the sessions so that the kids will have to make good financial decision, what to do with their money.
So before anything else, the kids ensured that they were given the right amount of money before the session starts. Should they run out of these during the 2-days, they can use always use their very personalised "credit card".
The kids can also opt for the various instruments that are available to them for investing their money, or they can put it in the "bank" to earn interest.
What did our kids learn by the end of 2-days? A lot, I'm sure these things are only scrapped on the surface by parents, and most of us would always regards our kids too young to know about some things. Until before we know it, they have experienced it themselves.
Some kids are already went bankrupt by the age of 18 years old. And some have owe lots of money to banks and credit cards companies, for spending the money they have yet to earn.
The lure of this modern world and society is too great even for us adults, more so for our children. So that's why I gave them to come and experience and learn something the books would not be able to teach you.
You have to live in the real world, learn how to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, to equip and protect yourself.
For those whose children who have attended later, and want our kids to stay connected, from here on, that they have a group of like-minded friends, who would be here to provide support to each other. Come join in a sub-forum, which I've specially created for them in my Internet Marketing Forum.
