The story Catch Them Young in the May 18 issue made a good read.
Financial education is so important, but is not taught in any school.
It is important for parents to practice what they preach because
kids tend to learn a lot from their parents. Money should be a part
of everyday conversations from an early age, so that kids know that
money is an important part of their lives.

I read the story on Finzy - a peer-to-peer lending initiative in
the previous issue of Outlook Money. I am not a great believer of
peer-to-peer lending but I must acknowledge that Finzy looked
interesting. I am curious to know more about it and would
want Outlook Money to keep on introducing readers to similar
opportunities in the market.

This is regarding the article, Book Hotels By The Hour. It is interesting
to note that startups come up with new business ideas in a space
where established players already exist because they are able to
identify a need in the market. While the need to book a hotel for a few
hours or part of the day was always there, somehow nobody thought
of this as a business model before.

The column on Myths About Filing Tax Returns was very informative.
This is something we do every year, yet there is so much confusion
about certain aspects of filing tax returns. While a good tax lawyer
can decode the entire process, it helps if you’re self-informed. The
government has made tax filing rules more stringent in the recent
times and making a mistake can cost one dear.

Two things can play spoilsport in retirement. One is of course the
shortage of funds, because most people do not save enough or save
right for retirement. The other is health, which can spoil the fun and
lead to high expenses. The story Planning For The Golden Years was
apt in mentioning that the retirement scenario has changed over the
years, making planning for retirement even more crucial.
