Thanks, Trish. I’ve found that my daughter doesn’t know the difference between what’s a toy and what’s not. She has toys, but we let her explore everything as long as it’s safe. That may change when she’s your son’s age, though

Thanks for sharing the link, I teared up myself after the read.

The father’s letter for his daughter was very sound, practical and loving. Lexie was really blessed to have a father who really took the time out to draft that very well-written letter.

BTW, you’ve got a great site! More power!

Cheers!

I can see your point Danielle. As parents, they probably want their kids to have better lives than they do. We got caught up into that. Our son had WAY more toys than he ever needed. We thought that was better, but now our attitude is changing. Because parents feel that pressure they probably extend that to their kids.

I skimmed it, but couldn’t bear to read it. I think the main reason most people our age are in so much debt is because we were under so much pressure from our parents to have it all.

Thanks for sharing. What a great article. Great advice. I love the part about taking an econmics class, to learing about money. High school doesn’t really teach that.
