Clogs to clogs in three generations is a well-known idiom, and she thinks it is important to teach financial management (quản lý tài chính) from an early age. Her parents influenced her heavily in this regard – they said the basic necessities (nhu cầu cơ bản) and the needs for school would be provided, but she should not expect there would be something in the family for her to inherit (thừa hưởng).
The organisation (tổ chức) also said that it conducted a survey (thực hiện khảo sát) this year and found that 58 percent of Portuguese parents put the risk of their children not attaining (đạt được) their own level of comfort and financial level in their top three concerns.
