    I had a proud moment last night when my 13 year old daughter was packing for her school expedition to San Diego. She earned every penny of the $470 for this trip herself and she was telling me how she was the only student who was paying their own way. Hearing this, I felt a knot in my stomach because I know it's hard for kids when their families are struggling just to provide the basics as we are, but it was just the opposite. She was beaming with pride! She was so proud that she had worked hard and saved over the past year to earn this trip and I know that she'll appreciate it all the more knowing that. Even though we don't have a lot of money, it feels great to know that our children can still learn to be responsible and hopefully be better off than we are one day. A wonderful lens, as always. :)

    Good lesson. My parents started us out when we were 4-5 years old and the lessons continued on through young adulthood. Thanks for visiting our Angel Crafts for Christmas lens.

    "It wasn't until I caught my six year-old planting money in the backyard that I knew it was time for the lessons to begin"
    That actually made me laugh out loud :)
    Anyway 5 stars!

    Good advice! I wish someone had taught me a bit more about financial responsibility as a kid. :)

    Yes, the objective would be to have you children financially responsible and not dependent upon the parents -- hubby still supports his twenty-something son. ;)

    I'm happy to say that now yes, I am financially savvy. I owe that to my husband, who owes that to his parents. He was taught by example. Fortunately, my children have also learned, both with teaching materials and by example. That's one of the best gifts we gave them, I think. Great subject, cool lens!

    If you could teach an old dog new tricks, I'd learn a lot from this inspiring page. Great job! (On the page, not me...I'm hopeless!) 5*s :)
