[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again. I guess I really don't feel comfortable with how to talk about wealth and I'm looking for some tips. Dh and I gre up middle class and we are doing quite well. I usually say stuff like "dad and I work very hard. [b]If you study hard and get a good job you will be able to afford what you want to buy.[/b]" I don't want our kids thinking this is the norm.[/quote] That is actually not true. You have no clue what your son may choose to do with his life. Many people work very hard and are just getting by (artists, writers, teachers, etc). He should find his passion in life regardless of the buying ability of that passion. "Rich" is a relative term. You actually aren't rich by many standards and are exceptionally rich by other standards. I would explain that "rich" doesn't mean anything. [/quote]
