One of the contributing factors can be lack of appropriate allowance scheme at home, which is of great importance in helping teenagers learn about personal finance. It is not uncommon that many adolescents are spoiled by their parents, being overindulged with excessive amount of pocket money. These kids are likely to grow up without comprehending that costly goals require sacrifice nor the importance of future saving and investing.

解决段1：

Parents can pay their children to do chores, which is one of the most impactful ways to teach children about monetary value. It's also the first exposures teenagers have to earning money, and can shape their attitudes around money. Such method allows children to have a tangible sense of the degree of effort from which they can be rewarded with allowance accordingly, which allows them to use money wisely in the future.
