For most of us finance and investing is boring per se. But for those who were born from parents with inherent aptitude and inkling for business normally have the most fun dealing with finance and investing.

Observe the enthusiasm of those young men and women in the PSE or Wall Street’s (or any commodity) trading center all over the world and you too can feel their adrenalin rush, as if they’re sharks in feeding frenzy.

I recommend to all money smarts bloggers to visit Fool.com web site once in a while. My eldest son was once upon a time an avid foolish contributor, as equity analyst of Fool’.com blogospheres. All staff writers of this company must report the assigned company’s financial analysis in a funny, simple and matter-of-fact presentation.

David and Tom Gardner, founders of The Motley Fool are classic example of teachers who will not bore students no matter what would be the subject matter. They’re funny. Learn all the financial market’s jargon from these fools. You too will be, soon.

Finance can be considered boring and uninterestng because in the first place it is SERIOUS stuff; there is no denying that. Some people take it for granted and see where it takes them? They either experience financial distress or financial ruin, and that is when they wake up to the fact that FINANCE is indeed truly serious. Most take it for what it is worth only after learning the lesson the hard way - by experiencing money problems probably inspite of so much income received each payday. I can safely assume that most do not even really know their net worth. Sad but true.

I recommend TalkingOfMoney.com for those interested in reading and learning personal finance matters attuned to the Filipino mindset.

I would say that understanding the importance of money and its proper handling in relation to our future and our family will make the boring and tedious topic of Finance one of the most important, interesting and rewarding subject of all.

There are students that find Finance boring. There are those that are afraid of numbers. But what holds true is that traditional methods are not as effective as they used to be because of technology. A lot of things are already in the fingertips of the youth. For example, research can be done in less than 3 minutes over the internet instead of the hassle of finding the right call number in the library. Meetings can be done through YM or instant messenger. Likewise, this boardgame can be used by teachers to supplement their curriculum. It can even make their lives easier.

I really think that the teaching tool called Funance is a good way to connect with students. I mean, they can learn financial management in a fun yet interactive way. It’s like Monopoly. It’s a fun game but it’s educational.

There is this game called Cashflow 101 founded and created by Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki. Its a fun game and teaches you on how to build your passive income. Its heavy on real estate though so if anyone knows of other games that teaches on other investment vehicles, I’m very open to suggestion.

I dig games and I learn quickly through them. I wish there’s a game on how to learn technical analysis of the stock market. That’s certainly on my wish list.

Finance can be boring for some but not for me. Maybe because I’m a math graduate. hehe. Anyway, you should try at least the Cashflow 101 Egame. I tried it and blogged about it.
