[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am. My DD is talking about low paying careers and I keep reminding her that those careers will not support her high maintenance life style. It's a a disservice to let her think otherwise. [/quote] +1 Yes, we are upfront that our lifestyle requires a high HHI so don’t get too comfortable. We also share our earlier financial struggles in an effort to have them appreciate everything we have. [/quote] +2 Ours are teens and we also talk about what things currently cost- including things like auto and homeowners insurance, utility bills, cable/WiFi bill, and other recurring expenses. Most kids know about mortgages and vehicles, maybe tuition, but have no idea of all the “other” stuff that adds up. [/quote]
