She just opened an investment account and by the things she says occasionally I get the feeling she's doing ok. She's 26 and has never had to ask me for any money. She reminds me of that when she thinks I'm being too nosy!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-46427481167331967542017-06-27T22:08:45.521-04:002017-06-27T22:08:45.521-04:00Oh I can so relate.

I just recently got the book that Dave Ramsey wrote with his daughter, and will be reading it and passing it on to her.Rhitter94https://www.blogger.com/profile/14730386238190105989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-40426419464686300762017-06-27T18:27:43.444-04:002017-06-27T18:27:43.444-04:00Kids...even adult ones need reminding about money ...Kids...even adult ones need reminding about money matters. Just when you think they've got it they go and blow money on something they can't afford.

Son3 is getting better but he is not quite there yet. He has gotten very good at eating meals at home and has learned to shop the less expensive grocery stores and to make food from scratch, but __he still needs to learn a few more money lessons. (Like if you are a musician and don't get a corporate paycheck you better make sure you bank half of each gig in a short term saving plan) Now that he has graduated those lessons are on him and not me cause he has left the parent train with the exception of medical insurance, and we did tell him we would keep him on our plan one more year.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-535616972172771302017-06-27T16:40:42.873-04:002017-06-27T16:40:42.873-04:00Sounds like he is doing a great job with your help...Sounds like he is doing a great job with your help of course.

It is just so much cheaper, but even that could go when she turns 25 (next November). However does that boy wear bras? Does he wear a bra that is so pit stained it and stretched an gross and held together with a safety pin? Does he wear lace panties with holes and gulp stains? Does he look like a hobo? I caved and spent some money on this child, she does have money in savings so could have done it herself. I can only stand so much. Will be anxious to see how this turns out.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-24351383304559198772017-06-27T12:51:40.727-04:002017-06-27T12:51:40.727-04:00Good for you! sometimes it takes the tough approac...Good for you! sometimes it takes the tough approach and hopefully he is learning better how to manage this saved money once he gets back to college.One Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369132659573259613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-40569705746823183882017-06-27T09:41:58.898-04:002017-06-27T09:41:58.898-04:00I hear parents complain about the kid's spendi...I hear parents complain about the kid's spending. When I have suggested something on the order of what you did--taking the money and doling it out--they say, "It's his/her money and he/she will have to learn the hard way." I cringe. One of these mothers gave a 8-yr-old a $250 birthday party, knowing they were three months behind on rent and all other bills. The children knew this and that the church bailed them out.

This year money goes to bank and no girlfriend. CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532160415343676858noreply@blogger.com
