In this sixth lesson in the Smart Consumer Skills Guide for Brilliant Kids series we ask you to explore debt and how good you really are with debt. In the last lesson, we gave 5 questions to ask yourself when spending. Debt is extremely important to understand and master. It can help in providing you with a great lifestyle, or can end up being a chain around your leg. It can ruin the rest of your life if a healthy respect is not given to it – it is a double edged sword, which unfortunately most of us do not understand.Debt is something that you will come into contact with sooner or later – the truth is that you need debt to live today – it is a fact of life and you need to be able to deal with it. The world economy functions when money is moving around it. Stop or disrupt that flow and people’s lives are affected by changing prices, changing interest rates, changing availability of goods and services. Debt is used to help money flow around more freely and quickly. It is readily available to all.

Welcome to the mybrilliantkidz.com blogzine, designed to give you the best quality information, news, reviews and other things related to help to make our children Brilliant! at whatever they do. We believe that all children are born naturally gifted and brilliant.

Education is not the only way to demonstrate this. There is a whole world out there with many spheres and opportunities – sports, music, business and entrepreneurship, entertainment to name a few areas. 

Information on how do we identify and encourage the areas where our children have an interest and are strong in has been lacking.  What works on our children and what does not, is not shared very easily.
