[quote=Anonymous]Teenagers, especially boys, are idiotic and impulsive. They don't see the big picture. Also, teens have never had to support themselves or work hard to get most things in life so they don't grasp how incredibly lucky they are to have their needs met/exceeded or have a college fund like that. This is the perfect age to start teaching him the value of money, honestly. He may not be old enough to get a job in a traditional sense, but he is old enough to work as a junior lifeguard or even junior camp counselor. Let him experience what it's like to put in some hard hours at work only to receive a check for very little. Trust me, teens who see how much work it takes to earn that $12/hr are much more appreciative of it. I married into money so my kids are set for life. I didn't want them to grow up being entitled brats like some of their cousins, so I've made them each get some form of a job starting at 14. [/quote]
