Hari ini setelah siaran pagi di\u00a0Hard Rock FM, gue take VO<\/em> untuk insert financial tips<\/em>, terus nganggur. Akhirnya\u00a0nongkrong di Starbucks Thamrin\u00a0<\/strong>sambil nungguin meeting jam 11 yang ternyata gak jadi juga.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ternyata Pandji lewat, dia juga punya jadwal \u2018nganggur’ sampe jam 2. Jadi\u00a0kita berdua akhirnya duduk-duduk, sibuk dengan laptop dan hp masing-masing.\u00a0Lost and stranded lah judulnya.<\/p>\n

Berhubung si bapak satu ini lagi ‘hamil’, jadi obrolan kita gak bisa\u00a0jauh-jauh dari urusan anak. Ya… gue akhirnya menerima kenyataan, kalo\u00a0dibandingkan Pandji & Steny, gue emang ibu-ibu banget ya hahhaha, walaupun\u00a0tetep aja ‘in denial’.<\/p>\n

Karena obrolan itu, sampe kantor setelah makan siang, gue jadi teringat\u00a0betapa serunya waktu Azra lahir. Betapa hebohnya karena waktu itu kita\u00a0betul-betul dalam kondisi financially\u00a0stupid<\/em>. Double income no kids, gak bisa saving? Kebangetan gak sih?<\/p>\n

Jadinya for the last half an hour<\/em>, gue cuma bisa berkaca-kaca bolak balik\u00a0klik klik photo-photo waktu bayi-bayi ku baru lahir. How tiny and innocent they are<\/em>. How\u00a0as parents, we have the responsibility to provide<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

And of course, it has to go back to my parents<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mau nangis nih.<\/p>\n

As I wrote this, I was thinking\u00a0how blessed I am to have parents like my parents. Mungkin secara komunikasi anak sama orang tua kita\u00a0biasa-biasa aja. They are not the kinds you can actually go to and talk\u00a0to and discuss different things with. Galak banget lho hehehe…<\/p>\n

But they definitely are the ones\u00a0who shaped my financial attitude.<\/p>\n

Gue gak akan pernah lupa, betapa\u00a0susahnya dulu waktu jaman SD atau SMP untuk bisa beli mainan atau baju baru. Bukan karena mereka gak mampu, tapi karena\u00a0orang tua gue punya disiplin keuangan yang perlu dicontoh generasi kita.<\/p>\n

Tapi waktu umur 14, gue pengen les bahasa Inggris yang mahal banget (dulu\u00a0lokasi tempat lesnya rumah tua yang sekarang jadi FO di pojokan Jl. Riau\u00a0Bandung), Papa dengan enteng mengijinkan. Dengan bingung gue bertanya, kenapa, kan biasanya pelit<\/em> gitu. Jawabannya, “I will pay for anything you want or need for\u00a0education.<\/em>” Dasar bandel gue bertanya lagi, “Why? Is it because it’s your obligation?<\/em>“. Jawaban Papa yang\u00a0berikut masih bikin gue nangis sampe hari ini, “No, it’s not my obligation. It’s because YOU are my responsibility.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Lesson learnt from Mr. Irawan\u00a0Poerwo aka My Dad, you just have to take up your responsibility. In this case,\u00a0we need to teach our children and shape their financial attitude, because their\u00a0financial literacy is our responsibility.<\/p>\n

Coba deh perhatikan. Selama ini kita semua sedikit banyak merefleksikan apa\u00a0yang dilakukan orang tua kita. Dalam soal uang, ini pun menjadi habit yang\u00a0terus kita bawa dari kecil sampai sekarang. Kalau sekarang kita sudah melenceng\u00a0terlalu jauh, terus generasi anak kita gimana dong?<\/p>\n

For our children, financial\u00a0education can only be done through continuous \u2018training’ at home, at school and\u00a0everyday activities. Ofcourse kita yang harus memberi contoh.<\/p>\n

So here’s another segment for us\u00a0to develop together, at earliest age as possible, on our children financial\u00a0literacy. I hope as the visitors of our website, you will gain and can share as\u00a0much as possible, so we can spread this fantastic \u2018virus’.<\/p>\n

\nFinance Should Be Practical!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
