Yeah.. been there.. heard that. Plus the "I'll pay you back later" spiel.

Kids need to learn that money is something of value and it needs to be earned before it can be spent. I hope I've given my kids a good lesson to learn from, and it sounds like you're well on the way to teaching yours.

My son (youngest) makes me very proud when I hear how frugal he is and the way he talks about his plans for the future. He's got a good head on his shoulders.. but then, I could be a bit biased. [Smile]
