Financial education has become just as important as the traditional disciplines of education early on in life. Martin Lewis for The Telegraph says that he would take enough care to pass on three pearls of financial advice to his daughter.

- You have to straddle on many grey fences. There are no clear answers to many financial questions.

This is why children should be taught the skills of financial decision-making from a very early age.
