[quote=Anonymous]Give kids some "skin in the game" while they are growing up, don't pay for EVERYTHING without zero contribution from them....they have to know the value of a dollar and be wise about income and expenses. Start that EARLY, like elementary school, don't wait until after college when the bank of Mom and Dad is closed to teach them financial literacy.  Schools do zilch in this regard the onus is on the PARENTS, do it!  A lot of parents are fully funding college so their young adults are not strapped with debt, instill in them how HUGE that is so they appreciate it and don't turn on you and refuse to help YOU when you get older.

Build compassion/humility in them....take them to a soup kitchen, shelter, etc...and volunteer with them, this will free them from the entitlement/all about me syndrome many young adults suffer from.

While sports and music lessons are great, traveling abroad should be in your budget....they need a broader/world view to expand their outlook on life.[/quote]
